BIG INCREASE, sfm 



h5 



Breeders of Berkshires have, for the past few years, realized 
that the demand for Berkshires was uot only very active but rapidly 
increasing in all sections of the United States. 

The 1895 Year Book of the American Berkshire Association^ 
now ready for distribution, contains many facts that will surprise 
the breeders of Berkshire swine who have not posted themselves 
concerning the numerous breeding herds recently established and 
the wide extension of territory east, west, north and south. 

The 1S95 Year Book shows that in the number of brood sows 
composing the herds of the breeders of Berkshire swine, that the 
states are entitled to precedence in the order named below 

The per cent, of increase in the number of brood sows in 1895, 
as compared with the herds reported in the 1891 Year Book of the 
American Berkshire Association, is given in the figures set opposite 
the names of the respective states : ..^•'~*

BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK, 189^. 



The Berkshire Year Book is published for the purpose of furnishing 
information to the thousands of parties who make inquiry annually concern- 
ing the herds, sales and prize records of the breeders of Berkshire Swine. 

The Berkshire Year Book for 1895 contains a list of the names and 
numbers of the boars and sows sold during the past year, and the names of 
the purchasers as reported and shown by the transfer records in the office of 
the American Berkshire Association. 

The list of the names of the recorded boars and sows awarded first or 
sweepstakes prizes in 1894, at duly organized County, State or Provincial Fairs 
is published in said Year Book, so far as reported. 

The Berry prize essay on the Berkshire Hog, published in this Volume, 
will be read with great interest by the breeders of swine. Mr. C. Fred Bosh- 
art, the author of the prize essay, is entitled to the hearty thanks of the 
breeders of Berkshire swine for this able paper, and unprejudiced readers will 
fully endorse the claims made therein for the Berkshire Hog, 

Items of especial interest to the breeders, contributed by the most promi- 
nent and successful breeders of Berkshire Swine, constitute one of the leading 
features of the Berkshire Year Book. 

The paper on the Diseases of the Pig contained in this Volume reflects 
much credit upon Dr. Mcintosh, who has demonstrated in the paper the 
claims of leading veterinarians that he is an eminent authority on such 
matters. 

The Berkshire Year Book contains the best obtainable methods for 
curing and cooking pork products, salting, smoking hams, bacon, making 
sausage, etc.; also receipts for rendering lard, seasoning sausage, and the 
various ways of cooking and serving all kinds of pork products for the table. 

Attention is invited to the index published in the appendix of this volume.

CHARLES F. MILLS, Springfifld, III. 



WHY BERKSHIRES ARE PREFERRED. 

Prominent among the good qualities that make Berkshires the leading 
favorite, the following may be mentioned: 

FJj-st— Great muscular power and vitality, which render them less liable to accident and 
disease than any others. 

-Second— Activity, combined with strong digestive and assimilating powers, hence re- 
turning a maximum quantity of flesh and fat for food consumed. 

Third— The sows are unsurpassed for prolificacy and as careful nurses and good 
suclvlers. 

Fourt/i— Their pigs are strong, active and vigorous at birth and consequently less liable 
to the mishaps so common to them when very young. 

Fi/t7i— They can be fattened for market at any age, and yet, if desirable, fed to any 
reasonable weight, from 600 to, in some instances, 1.000 pounds. 

Sixt/i— Their flesh is of the highest quality of pork, containing a larger proportion of 
finely marbled lean and fat than that of any other breed. 

Scuc7it?i— Power of the boar to transmit the valuable qualities of the breed to his pro- 
geny when crossed witli others. 

i/'i(//i</i— Unsinpabsed uniformity in color and marking.

PRIZES FOR BERKS. 



LIBERAL PREMIUMS OFFERED FOR BERKSHIRES AT THE 
STATE AND PROVINCIAL FAIRS OF 1895. 



Twenty- "• even Hundred and Fifty Dollars in Prizes Offered by the American 

Berkshire Association, for the Purpose of Advertising the Breed 

and to Enconrage Improvement in_(^Haiity of Berkshires 

in the United States and in Canada. 



Durinj? the past year the American Berkshire Association awarded in prizes at the lead- 
ing State Fairs over one tliousand dollars in premiums— a sum much larger than the aggre- 
gate amount offered in premiums by the sixteen or more similar organizations representing 
all the other breeds of swine. 

One thousand dollars in cash was paid the exhibitors of Berlishire swine at the World's 
Columbian Exposition by the American Berkshire Association. 

The leading breeders of Berkshires from all portions of the world had the satisfaction of 
examining at the World's Fair an exhibit of Berkshires that was pronounced by well-in- 
formed breeders to have been the largest and best display of Berkshire hogs ever before 
shown at any State or previous World's Fair. 

It is generally conceded by the exhibitors of Berkshire swine that the large sums offered 
in prizes by the American Berkshire Association had much to do in stimulating breeders to 
make an exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition, that has greatly increased the pres- 
tige and popularity of the Berkshire breed. 

The American Berkshire Association will continue the same liberal policy by the offer of 
a still larger sum in prizes for exhibits made at the State and Provincial Fairs held in Canada 
and the United States during the year of 1895. 

The American Berkshire Association offers the following special premiums, to be com- 
peted for at each of the State and Provincial Fairs of 1895, viz.: The first five or the second 
five volumes of the Record of the American Berkshire Association necessary to complete 
the set of the successful competitor, and valued at five dollars per volume. 

(a) Best breeding pen of Berkshires registered in the American Berkshire Record, to 
consist of a boar and three sows over one year of age, owned by a resident of the State or 
Province in which the Fair is held, the first five or second five volumes of the Berkshire 
Record, necessary to complete the set of the successful competitor, value twenty-five dollars. 

(b) Best breeding pen of Berkshires registered in the American Berkshii-e Record, to 
consist of a boar and three sows under one year of age, owned by a resident of the State or 
Province in which the Fair is held, the first five or second five volumes of the Berkshire 
Record, necessary to complete the set of the successful competitor, value twenty-five dollars. 



Bkrkshike Year Book. 



CONDITIONS. 

First -That the boars and sows competins for the prizes specified above be recorded in 
the American Berlishire Record prior to date of entry at tlie Fair, and that a list of such en- 
tries tas sent to the Secretary of the Association at Springfield, Illinois, 

Second— That there shall not be less than two competitors for each of the prizes. 

Third— That no animals competing for the above prizes be allowed to show for said pre- 
miums at more than one State or Provincial Fair in 189.5. 

Fourth— That a separate class for recorded Berkshires be provided by the State Fair offi- 
cials, and published in the premium list for 180.5. 

Fifth— That the announcement of the pi-emiums marked (a) and (b), and conditions one, 
two and three, be printed in the premium list of said State Fairs in connection with the 
classification for Berkshire swine, or that referen<;e be made at the end of the list of premi- 
ums for swine to this announcement, giving page where the same is put)lished.

GOLD MEDAL BERKSHIRES. 



Liberal Premiums and Highest Show Yard Honors for the Cham 
pion Berkshire Herd of 1895. 



The greatest attraction in the Swine department of onr fairs and exposi- 
tions is the display of JJerkshire Swine. 

The superior merits of the breed so highly commend the IJerkshires that 
it is only necessary to introduce this prime favorite into any locality to ensure 
the natronage of the farmer who gives critical attention to profit in feeding 
and the quality of ham, bacon and porlv that has made the Berkshire the 
high stand ird to which all producers of pork ])roducts are so earnestly striv- 
ing to attain. 

Th3 exhibitiou of lidrkdhires at the county, district and State fairs, as a 
means of advertising and selling stock, has been demonstrated by our most 
successful breeders to be only second to the live stock and agricultural papers 
as an effective agency for disposing of surplus stock at a profit. 

The American Berkshire Association, for the purpose of encouraging 
breeders generally to exhibit their herds at the county, district and State fairs 
of 1893 otters a gold medal to the owner of the herd of Berkshires that makes 
the best show yard record during the current year. 

CONDITION.S. 

First— That the boars and sows competing for the grand gold medal of 
the American Berkshire Association be registered in the Kecord of this 
Association. 

Second — That each of the premiums received in 1895 shall be certified to 
the American Berkshire Association by the exhibitor and countersigned by 
the Secretary of the fair at vehich said award was made. 

Third — That early notice of intention to compete for the grand gold medal 
nerein offered must be filed with the Secretary of the American Berkshire As- 
sociation, Col. Charles F. Mills, Springfield, Illinois. 

Fourth— lleY)OTts of awards on the forms prescribed by the American 
JJerkshire Association, must be filed for the above premium, with the Secre- 
tary of the Association, at Springfield, prior to December 31, 1895. 

Fifth— The grand gold medal will be awarded the exhibitor whose prize 
record scores the highest number of points on the following basis, viz.: In 
the Berkshire class at county fairs, each third premium to count one point; 
each second premium to count two points; each first premium to count four 
points; each sweepstakes premium to count eight points; each sweepstakes 
premium in rings where all breeds compete together, to count ten points. At 
district fairs. State fairs and expositions, the score will be made upon a uni- 
form and equitable plan, based upon the number of entries of recorded ani- 
mals in each ring. 

SixtJi — The grand gold medal will be awarded by three disinterested and 
reputable gentlemen, to be selected by the Directors of the American Berk- 
shire Association.

GOL D MEDAL H ERD. 

"Go West, Young Man, Go West," When You Desire to See the 
Champion Berkshire Herd for 1894. 

There has never been a more earnest contest among the breeders of Berk- 
shire swine for show yard honors than in 1894, when, with scarcely an excep- 
tion, the leading breeders and most successful exhibitors at the Columbian 
and State Fairs were in the ring competing with the best lot of Berkshires 
that have ever been displayed in America or Europe. 

The result of the splendid campaign made by the breeders of Berkshires 
for popular favor and show yard honors last season, is summed up in the fol- 
lowing report, made by N. H. Gentry, of Sedalia, Mo., George S. Prine, of 
Oskaloosa, la., and J. (). Terrell, of Terrell, Texas: 
To the American Berkskire Association : 

The undersigned, to whom were referred the entries and other papers 
tiled by the contestants for the prize of a Gold Medal offered by the Ameri- 
can Berkshire Association to the owner of the herd of Berkshires making the 
best show yards record during the year 1894, beg leave to report, that there 
were seven contestants for said prize. 

The published conditions for said contest are as follows: 

CONDITIONS. 

Firsf— That the boars and sows competiuK for the fjraiid Gold Medal of tlie American 
Berkshire Association be registered in the Record of tliis Association. 

SecoHrf— That each of the premiums received in 18ii4 shall be certified to the American 
Berkshire Association by tlie exhibitor and countersigned by the Secretary of the fair at 
which said award was made. 

Third— 'T\\ixX early notice of intention to compete for the gi'and Gold Medal herein offered 
must be tiled with the Secretary of the American Berkshire Association, Col. Charles F. Mills, 
Springfield, Illinois. 

FoMrf?f— Reports of awards, on the form prescrilied by the American Berkshire Afssocia- 
tion, must be filed for the above premium with the Secretary of the Association, at Spring- 
field, prior to December ;U, 18!)4. 

Ft/t7i— The grand Gold Medal will be awai'ded the exhibitor whose prize record scores the 
liighest number of points on the following basis, viz: In the Berksliire class at county fairs, 
each third pi'emium to count one point; each second premium tocount two points; each first 
premium to count four points: each sweepstakes piemium to count eight points; eacli sweep- 
stakes premium in rings where all breeds compete together, to count ten points. At district 
fairs, state fairs and expositions, the score will be made upon a uniform and equitable plan, 
based upon the number of enti'ies of recorded animals in eacli ring, 

.Si.r(/i — The grand Gold Medal will be awarded by three disinterested and reputable gen- 
tlemen, to be selected by the Directors of the American Bei'kshire Association. 

The seven competitors for the Gold Medal scored the following points, 
viz.: 425, 278, 259, 243, 154, 89 and 88. 

The party making the highest score exhibited Berkshires at the following 
fairs, making the scores noted below: 

Clay County, Nebraska tin 

Nebraska State Fair J85 

Indiana State Fair 4i> 

Iowa State Fair lOii 

Illinois State Fair "J.") 

Total 4:>5 

The successful contestant was awarded twenty-four lirst prizes, twenty- 
one second prizes, two third prizes and seven sweepstakes prizes. 

In the rings in which lirst prizes were awarded the party entitled to the 
Gold Medal, the number of entries averaged six, and in the rings in which 
second prizes were awarded, the number of entries averaged within a fraction 
of seven. 

It is generally conceded that the best imported and home-bred Berkshires 
exhibited in 1894 were shown at the four State Fairs named above. 

No higher compliment can be paid the Berkshires composing the Gold 
Medal herd than the announcement of the fact that in competition with the 
best home and foreign-bred stock at four of the leading State Fairs of 1894, 
the highest score was made by W. E. Spicer, Harvard, Xebraska. 

The committee therefore take great pleasure in awarding the Gold Meda 
of the American Berkshire Association to Mr. W. £. Spicer, Harvard, Nebraska^ 



Prolific Berkshires, 11 



PROLI FIC BERKS HIRES. 

Freinimii of One Hundred Dollars. Offered by W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Neb., Awarded 
to IVIr. Keubeu Gentry, of Danville, Ky. 

Mr. Spicer. in making the announcement of his liberal premium for the 
purpose of developing facts concerning the prolific breeding qualities of the 
Berkshires, speaks as follows: 

The iindersiirned claims for the Berkshire breed that the sows are prolific breeders and 
tliat early maturity and profit la feeding are marlved characteristics of the breed, while the 
superior excellence in the quality of the pork of a Berkshire is unquestioned. 

As an advocate of the claim that the lari^e breed of Berkshires meets all the demands of 
the breeder and feeder of swine for profit, and the wants of the most critical packer and con- 
sumer of pork products for incomparable quality, the foUowinfj premium is offered for the 
Berkshire sow whose litter of pi.?s exceeds in weight at one hundred days afler farrow that 
of any her competitors." 

That Mr. Spicer was fully advised as to the truth of his claim is clearly 
demonstrated in the report of the committee awarding said premium, which 
is as follows: 
To the American Berkshire Association: 

The undersigned, to whom was referred the entries and other papers filed 
by the contestants for the very liberal special premium offered by Mr. W. E. 
Spicer, of Harvard, Nebraska, for the Berkshire sow whose litter of pigs ex- 
ceeds in weight at one hundred days after farrow, beg leave to report that 
eight breeders filed entries for said premium. 

The undersigned has duly considered the following conditions provided 
for said competition: 

CONDITIONS. 

First— The competing animals must be recorded in the American Berkshire Record and 
be the nroperty of the competitor. . .. i, x., ^ ...u 

sp,.,.nd— That early notice of intention to compete for said premium must be filed with 
tho ^..cn-t-irv of the American Bei'kshire Association, Col. Charles F. Mills. Springfield, 111. 

Third— I'hat three disinterested and reputable parties shall weigh the sow and pigs one 
hundred days after farrow, and that said parties shall certify to the weight of the sow and 

^"' \'mn^th-'^-That each competitor shall file with his entry a statement of the method of 
fuodiiHT H lid carin" for the sow prior to farrow, and the attention and character of rations 
oiten sow and ui"-s from date of farrow until the expiration of the one hundred days' test. 
' Fifth— The above premium i.s offered for the purpose of developing data of the greatest 
,-iinp to swine breedeis, and while the exact weightof food used duringthe one hundred days 
i\lJt is not reduired. competitors are earnestly re<iuested to keep accurate account of the 
weight and report each kind of food consumed daily by the sow and her litter of pigs during 
the continuance of the test. 

The lack of completion of the entries of several prominent breeders and 
very succeeful feeders, has made it necessary to exclude their applications tor 

the competition. . „-,.ji i. * 

\ number of entries of sows with spring litters of pigs had advantage ot 
the season over the gentleman awarded the prize, who has demonstrated the 
oft repeated claim that the Berkshire is not only prolific, but that the pigs 
are healthy and make profitable growth under conditions that may prevail 
on everv farm The litter of pigs awarded the premium was out of the sow 
Lucille 34443 and sired by Elmwood Chief 34441, and owned by Reuben 
Gentry, of Danville, Ky. Said litter was farrowed November 8, 1894, and con- 

^'^^^rhf papers'were filed by Richard Cobb, Jr., W. H. Lillard and/ames G. 
Gastmean of Danville, Kentucky, certify that on February 16, 189;:, the sow 
weighed 335 pounds, and the ten pigs weighed 545 pounds. 

Mr ({entry states that the sow and pigs were never kept m a house, but 
were provided with a good bed and allowed the range of a field containing 
about twelve acres. The sow and pigs wrre fed ground wheat and ground 
corn cooked, and shelled corn. . , , . • !•**.„ 

Breeders who have experienced the difficulties involved m saving a litter 
of ten pi<'s, and making a gain on said pigs of 545 pounds during the months 
of November, December, January and February, will esteem it a privilege to 
extend congratulations to Mr. Reuben Gentry, the successful contestant for 
the Spicer prize referred to above. ^Respectfully siil.miUe^,^^ Committee.

The breeders of Berkshire swine are under many obligations to Hon. 
George W. Berry, of Berryton. Kansas, for the very liberal premium offered 
for the best essay on the Berkshire. The handsome premium of Mr. Berry 
induced a number of well known breeders to prepare essays in competition 
for the prize, which was awarded to Mr. C. F. Boshart, of Lowville. N. Y. 

The premium essay is well worthy of the careful perusal of all interested 
in the Berkshire hog. 

The essays entered in this competition are of a very high order of merit. 

The awarding committee consisted of Hon. F. D. Coburn. Secretary of the 
Kansas State Board of Agriculture; Prof. John A. Craig, of the Wisconsin

tural College. 

Mr. Berry has rendered the breeders of Berkshires a great service in the 
very liberal premium offered for essays. 



FIRST PRIZE ESSAY. 

1?V ('. F. nosiIART, LOWVILLE, N. Y. 

England from early times appears to have been blessed with numerous 
provincial breeds of swine. Among those of importance we find the Berk- 
shire, originating in Berks County, England. At what period these provincial 
breeds were formed and as to the character of the stock from wtiich they 
were derived, early history affords no information. Tradition states that swine 
were herded in England as far back as 863 B. C. How long previous to this 
period domesticated swine wers reared and herded we have no means of ascer- 
taining. What the forms of these ancient swine were, history does not tell 
us. The lapse of centuries has obliterated all traces of their primitive uncouth 
forms and characteristics. 

The breeders of Berks County, England, bred from generation to genera- 
tion, a type which had been selected from stock of mixed origin, and crossed 
with more improved breeds, until the desired qualities which they wished to 
perpetuate had become lixed, and a breed was thus created. The Berkshires 
of a century ago belonged to the larger class of swine, and were easily distin- 
guished by their color. The earliest writers represent them as butt', sandy or 
whitish brown, spotted with dark brown or black, having few bristles, and 
with long curly hair. 

This early Berkshire was coarse in bone, large in head, snout comparatively 
short, jowl thick, and ears heavy and drooping, and fringed with long, curly 
hair around their outer edge. Their backs were broad, bodies long, compact 
and well formed. The hams and shoulders heavy, with rather short legs, tiesh 
well marbled, and the broad sides produced a bacon of superior quality. 

History further tells us that the old, improved Berkshire was crossed with 
a black, or deep plum-colored Siamese boar. Other traditional historians assert 
that the black and white Chinese boar was cautiously used. That both crosses 
were judiciously used we cannot well question, and may well believe as in 



16 Berkshire Year Book, 



both conformation and color this traditional Berkshire stock gave evidence of 
both crosses. From the Siamese cross the Berkshire nndonbtedly obtained its 
sandy or reddish brown color, a better dished face, finer head, broader back 
and greater length of body, with erect ears. From the Chinese cross fineness 
of bone and conformation, with heavy jowls was the result, together with 
some change of color. As to the exact time when these crosses were lirst 
made we have no data. In the research into Berkshire history by the late A. 
B Allen, he gave it as his oijinion that it must have been more than one and 
one-half centuries ago. 

The offspring of the above crosses were bred together, and by the selection 
of the best for subsequent breeding, there was produced the breed as we find 
it, fixed and permanent in all its desirable points. From our earliest knowl- 
edge of the breed, the color and markings have been variable until the last 
quarter of a century. In 1842 Prof. Low portrays the Berkshires as "uf a 
sandy or reddish brown color, spotted with black, their feet and legs, for 
nearly their whole length, white, somewhat streaked on the sides and beliind 
with reddish brown." Fi'om 1H50 color was bied more to one type, and coming 
to 1865 the general color was black, slate or plum, with white markings, while 
the size and shape remained the same. 

Breeders began to prefer the darker color, and those pigs were selected 
which came nearest to pure l)lack, with white on feet, face, ti]) of tail and an 
occasional slash of white on jowl or foi'e-arm, until the markings on the Berk- 
shire had become lixed and permanent. In size they have been classed among 
the largt^st breeds for more than one hundred years. In 1807 one was exhibited 
by Sir William Curtis that weighed 901 pounds. Johnston informs us that, 
in 1842. they weighed from 400 to 800 pounds, and some have been killed in 
England and the United States which dressed over 800 pounds. 

The Berkshire of to-day, while differing from the Berkshire of a quarter 
of a century ago, in color and mai'kings, has diminished none in size, but has 
been much improved in uniformity of color, conformation, quality and early 
maturity. Diii-ing the last thirty years all the undesirable qualities have been 
bred out and liner <iualities bred in. 

The functions of the individual system to produce likeness, with the aim 
and effort of the breeder to improve and perpetuate an individual offspring 
of a hner tyi)e than its ancestors, has been one of the steps which has led to 
the present superiority of the Berkshire breed. 

In breeding, men have formed a type, in the Berkshire of the present, 
which for (luility of meat, beauty of finish, profit in feading and heavy weights 
at an early age, has no peer, and stands without an ecjual as the standard 
breed of swine. Leaving the Berkshire of the past, we will examine the typical 
Berkshire of the present. 

The following are the characteristics and mai'kings of Beikshires as adopted 
by the American Berkshire Association: 

"C'oZor— Black, with white feet, face, tin of tail, and an occasional splash 
of white on the arm; while a small spot of white on some other part of the 
body does no^, argue an impurity of blood, yet it is to be discouraged to the 
end that uniformity of color may be attained by breedei-s; white upon one ear, 
or a bronze or copper spot on some part of the body argues no impurity, but 
rather a re-ajipearaiice of original colors Markings of white other than those 
named a^ove are suspicious, and a pig so marked should be rejected. Fac, 
short, fine anil well dished, broad between the eyes; ears generally almost erect, 
but sometimes inclining forward with advancing age, small, thin, soft and 
showing veins. Joirl, full. Nech, short and thick. Shoulder, short from neck 
to middling deep from back down; back broad and straight, or a very little 
arched, liibtf. long ribs, well sprung, giving rotundity of body; short iil)s. of 
good length, giving breadth and leveluess of loins, i/yw, good length from 
point of hip io rump. If a ins, thick, round and deep, holding their thickness 
well back and down to the hocks. Tai/, fine and small, set on high up. L^f/s, 
short and fine, but straight and very strong, with hoofs erect; legs set wide 
apart, ^b't^'e, medium. Length, medium; extremes are to be avoided. Bone,

fine and compact. Offal, very light. Hair, fine and compact. Skin, pliable. 
"Swine Husbandry," by F. 1). Coburn. 

In breeding, the Berkshire has been perfected so as to develop those parts 
which command the higest prices, and what the brisket is to the beef steer, 
the jowl is to the Berkshire— not valuable, but indicative of hardness and good 
feeding qualities. The hams and loins, being the choice parts, the improved 
Berkshire is wide in back, with heavy hams, a large shoulder and a broad 
deep side. The large shoulder is important for the full development of heart 
and lungs, and the broad, deep side furnishes the llesh, well marbled, with 
streaks of fat between the sweet, tender, juicy lean, which produces a bacon 
of unexcelled quality. 

In size, the Berkshire is one of the largest breeds. That heavy hog. 
Barry's Grand Duke 20759, of great scale and substance, is said to have 
weighed 1050 ])0unds. The imported Fitz Curzon 30531 tipped the scales at over 
lOOO pounds, and the boar. Lord Windsor 30461, which has received so much 
praise and admiration from breeders, tips the scales at over 900. The Ameri- 
can bred boar. Black Knight 30003, who won first in his class and champion- 
ship for boar of any age at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, in 
1893, weighed 780 pounds when twenty-seven months old. That grand old 
boar, Longfellow 16835, who well deserves distinction as the greatest porcine 
sire the world ever knew, matured a thoroughly finished hog a few days under 
seventeen months of age, weighing 726 J)ounds. In the show ring this boar 
reaped a harvest in awards not soon to be equaled, and was pronounced a 
triumph of the breeder's art. His success has been so marvelous that his 
record stands as an illustration of the financia" value of a high class sire. 
His owner sold 302 of his offspring, mostly small pigs, for the sum of $14,015, 
an average of $46.40 per head. Besides these, there were sold by him seventy- 
five sows, in pig from Longfellow, for the sum of S5,575, an average of S74.33 
per head. From the first litter produced by Longfellow came the sensational 
boar. Model Duke 17397, who, at two years old, sold for £750. 

As to the weights obtained in matured sows they reach between 500 and 
800 pounds. The imported sow Highclere B 30463, weighs over 800 pounds, 
and Xumber Seven 11055, attained a weight of 678 pounds, after her useful- 
ness as a breeder was over. 

For early maturity, and to fatten at any age, the Berkshire, either pure- 
bred or crossed on common stock, heads the list and stands pre-eminent above 
all breeds. Instances of the use of a thoroughbred boar to common sows, 
whose pigs dressed over 350 pounds in nine months from birth, has been 
noticed by the writer. The beautiful boar Enterprise 27957, when ten and 
one-half months old, weighed 463 pounds, and at twenty-three months old 
652 pounds. King Lee 2750O, "perfect in his form and rare in his finish," 
weighed 420 pounds when ten months old; 750 pounds at two years of age, 
and in only average condition, 820 pounds when three years old. Victor Duke 
25715, a boar of superb quality and superior finish, weighed 850 pounds at 
twenty-two months of age. Handsome Prince 21147, a boar of fine head, good 
back and hams, weighed 700 pounds when twenty-one months old. The four 
young sows, Artful IJelle VII, VIII, IX, and X, all from the same litter, 
weighed 2,000 pounds when seventeen months old, an average of 500 pounds 
each. Bomford XXIV. 2;954, weighed 535 pounds when twenty-two months 
old. 

The Berkshire furnishes a hog of sufficient size and quality to compete 
in any market. Without prejudice to color, the feeder wants a hog that can 
eat and assimilate the greatest amount of food, over and above that required 
to maintain life. 

In breeding, the digestive apparatus has not been diminished, so as to 
impair the functions of the animal body. The breeder has moulded the Berk- 
shire beautiful in conformation, with a fine but strong bony frame-work, 
capable of sustaining their heavy weight. From time immemorial we are in- 
formed of their easy keeping qualities and their readiness to fatten at any 
age. Being of early matui-ity and free feeders they are desired by the farm - 
ers and feeders because of their development into heavy weights under one 



18 Bekkshibe Year Book. 



year of age, and thus bring quick returns from his surplus products. No 
breed can compete with the Berkshire in attaining large weights, between 
eight and sixteen months of age, when one considers the amount of food re- 
quired for each ]J0und of growth. They supply the wants of the western 
farmer better than other breeds because they are the hog best adapted to be 
raised in connection with cattle feeding, being good grazers with a hardy 
constitution, and less susceptible to disease. While one section of the coun- 
try demands a hog fur a different purpose than another, the Berkshire meets 
the requirements of all. Th© eastern farmer wants a hog of early maturity 
and quick growth to consume and utilize the skim milk of the" dairy, the 
whey from the factory and such other products of the farm and kitchen as 
would otherwise go to waste. The western farmer and feeder wants a hog 
active, with a strong digestive apparatus and great assimilating powers, so 
as to readily convert grain into meat. 

In breeding the Herkshire the fattening qualities have been developed, 
not only to meet the wants of one section of the country alone, but a profita- 
ble feeder and quick grower for all sections. With a robust constitution and 
strong assimilating powers, climate has no deteriorating effects upon their 
excellent feeding (jualities. For shipping' long distances to market the Berk- 
shire is preferred by shippers, as it carries more lean in proportion to fat 
than other breeds, the shrinkage is not so great. The packers prefer the 
lierkshire on account of its meat being better marbled with fine streaks of fat 
between the sweet, juicy lean. 

Thus we paPs to feeding trials conducted by W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Neb., 
the substance of which I take from his catalogue: The aged sow Number 
Seven 1105"). after being shown at the fall fairs, weiorhed, Oct. 7, 1888, at 4 p. m., 
632 pounds. She was placed in a small open shed and fed corn meal, all she 
would eat, three times a day, soaked in water from one feed to the next, a 
feed of pumpkins two or three times that week, and on Oct. 14, at 4 p. m., 
she weighed tuH pounds, having gained forty-six pounds in seven days. The 
number of pounds of meal consumed during the seven days was estimated at 
ninety pounds. 

In 1890, Romford II. 15790, was selected, and Sept. 30, 1890, weighed 491 
pounds. She was placed in a yard thirty-two feet square with a house in it, 
and fed nothing but corn meal soaked in water for six hours, and consumed 
ninety-seven ])ounds of meal in seven days, weighing Oct. 7. 525 pounds, a 
gain of thirty-four pounds. On July 3, 1891, Eomford XII. 23094, weighed 
484 pounds, and was then put on a ration of ground corn, oats, shorts and oil 
cake. In ten days she had consumed 160 pounds of feed and wt-ighed 519 
pounds, showing a gain of thirty-five i)Ounds, being in heat the last three 
days. In the next ten days, July 13 to 23. she consumed 170 pounds of feed, 
and weighed 567 pounds, a gain of forty-eight pounds. In the next ten days, 
-Inly 23 to Aug. 2, she weighed 611 poiuids, a gain of forty-four pounds, hav- 
ing consumed 185 pounds of feed, with two pounds of milk each day during 
the last ten of the test. During the thirty days she consumed 515 pounds of 
feed with about forty-five pounds of water each day, and gained 127 pounds 
with a loss of feeding, by being in heat during the test, of at least five days' 

In temperament the Berkshire is quiet and eentle, the sows prolific breed- 
ers and kind and careful mothers, and the best of sucklers. Imported 
Majestic, 30459, when she entered the ring of aged matrons, of unsurpassed 
excellence, at the World's Columbian Exposition, at Chicago, 1893, in compe- 
tition for the highest honor a breeder strives to secure, with eleven little 
ones at her side three days old, illustrates the proliflcness of the breed and 
shows the animal to be a faithful breeder in show form, she winning second 
prize. These pigs were farrowed in October, 1893, and the following spring 
of 1894 Majestic proved her productiveness and value by being the proud 
mother of a litter of fourteen pigs, which are now growing to compete for 
future honors. Model 26493, to April, 1894, had produced five litters of pigs, 
forty-one in number, and out of her 1893 spring litter, four were winners at 
the World's Columbian Exposition. Model has always produced fine, even 
litters, with no culls, and the 1893 spring litter testifies to her sterling worth 



Bkrry's Pkize Essay. 19 



as a breeder. Romford X. 23087, produced sixty-eight pigs in five litters, and 
some of the finest Berkshires in the sow ring were farrowed by this faithful 
animal, who has won prizes at Omaha and Lincoln, Xeb. Both in show form 
and ordinary breediu? condition, the Berkshires have proved their intrinsic 
value as prolific breeders, kind mothers and good sucklers. 

To the improvement and perfection of the Berkshire, the English breed- 
ers have led the way and laid the corner stone. Mr. ,Iohn Brentnall, an Eng- 
lish farmer, made the first importation into this country, in 1823, and this 
stock was taken to his estate in New Jersey. The next importation was 
made by Mr. Sidney Haws, in 1832, and located by him at Albany, X^. Y. 
Other importations were made by Haws, and in 1840 the Berkshire had found 
their way into the Western states and Canada. It was with imported stock 
that the sturdy American breeder strove to improve and modify to meet the 
wants of its people. The desire of the American people has been for sweet, 
tender, juicy, and well marbled smoked, hams and bacon, with very little fat. 

The Berkshire, improved and unimproved, was the favorite breed of the 
English, as they carried in substance those qualities most esteemed by the 
epicure. It is but natural that they found a welcome home on the American 
shore and their products a ready market on the block and with the shipper. 

One considers a moment, and then asks: What has wrought these 
changes, so great in conformation and chai'acter, which places the Berkshire 
at the head of all breeds of swine? Is it by reason of the advance of science 
or the laws of nature? 

An experienced breeder can readily read the character and disposition of 
an animal. A pig with a fine dished fsnte is a (juick feeder. The well dished 
face usually accompanies a large jowl. The pigs with a long, straight face 
are slow feeders and uneasy. To improve man must understand the science 
of breedinsr. the relation of parent to otfspring. The law of similarity, '"like 
produces like," is the fundamental principle in the improvement of a breed. 
Since it has become known that the parents transmit their characters to their 
offspring, the sajing has Leen "breed from the best," which is one of the 
earliest and best maxims. 

o power in breeding produces so great results as variation. Without 
variability nothing could be accomplished. Slight individual ditferences fur- 
nishes a basis for producing new breeds Having variability man applies the 
principle of selection and obtains either good or bad results, according to at- 
tention and habits. 

These wonderful accomplishments in the perfection of the Berkshii'e 
breed has been wrought by men well verst-d in the science of breeding and 
the art of selection, possessing a natural ability to apply nature's laws, teach- 
ings and principles with a master's hand.

DISEASES OF THE PIG. 

The intention of this paper on the Diseases of the Pig is to 
give to the swine growers and farmers a concise description of the 
ailments which affect the pig of this country. The need of a work 
on the diseases of the pig which could be distributed among the 
farmers as a safe guide in the treatment and management of slight 
ailments, as well as serious illnesses, has been long felt. It con- 
tains all the practical experience collected for a period of twenty- 
five years, with all the latest remedies, and is written in a style 
which is easily understood, the technicalities being left out as much 
as possible, and is intended as a guide to the farmer. The writer 
is a man of great practical experience, and of scientific knowledge 
of all the diseases of the domestic animals, and there is no doubt 
bat that this work will be of inestimable value to the swine growers 
and farmers throughout the country. 

This standard work was prepared by Dr. Donald Mcintosh, 
graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College, and Professor of Veter- 
inary Science, University of Illinois.

DISEASES OF THE PIG. 



CHAPTER I. 

DISEASES OF THE PI«. 

By J). Mcintosh, Professor Veterinary Science, University of Illinois. 

There has not been tlie same attention paid to the treatment of the pig 
as there has been to that of the other domestic animals. The ditticulty in 
administering medicine to the pig and attending to the nursing of it is one 
of the drawbacks. Medicine has been usually given in the food, and when 
the animal is iu condition to eat and can be separated from the others this 
method is very convenient; but putting medicine in food where there are a 
number of hogs feeding together cannot be done satisfactorily. In cases 
where it is necessary to give medicine by the mouth the patient struggles so 
much that it often do's more harm than good. When medicine has to be 
given to ho^js it is best to give it in the food if they will eat it. If there 
are a number to be treated each one should have its own allowance. When 
it is necessary to give it by the mouth a pie^e of rubber hose should be put 
on to the neck of the bottle containing the medicine and tied lirmly. The 
hog is to be then cast and secured either by being held or by tying. Then 
o|)en the mouth with a piece of wood, introduce the rubber hose and pour 
the medicine slowly down. This is the satest and best way to administer 
medicine to swine. 

DISEASES OF THE MOUTH. 

^/)i/in'.— This is a vesicular eruption of the mouth caused by the acci- 
dental introduction of acrid plants into it or it may depend on a constitu- 
tional state, the eruption being one of nature's ways to rid the system of 
some deleterious material which is lodged in it. Symptoms: There will be a 
dribbling of saliva from the month and the animal will have ditliculty in eat- 
ing and may let it droj) out again. On examining the mouth there will be a 
number of white vesicles seen on the lip and sides of the mouth or tongue. 
Treatment: Find the cause if possible. If it is caused by the animal getting 
or eating some irritating substance, dissolve half an ounce of alum in a pint 
of cold water and inject or pour a little of this into the mouth three times 
a day. Feed on soft food for a few days. If it is caused by a deranged 
condition of the system, dissolve from one to two ounces epson salts in half 
a pint of coUl water and give at one dose, and wash with the above lotion. 
If ulcers should be i)resent touch them with nitrate of silver. In two days 
after using the silver apply a little of the alum lotion to heal the sores. 

IhJIamation of Month and Tongue.— This is not often seen in the pig. 
It is sometimes caused by the animal getting medicine in too concentrated a 
form, such as turpentine and ammonia. I have seen a few cases in which 
no cause could be found. The symptoms are pain, redness, heat, and swell- 



24 Berkshire Year Uook. 



iiig. The animal is unable to swallow and there is a constant dropping of 
saliva from the month. The tongue may be protruded, giving the animal a 
very peculiar and anxious expression. Sometimes the epithelium (lining of 
the tongue) peels off, leaving a raw sore. In some cases the tongue swells 
to such a size as to cause suffocation. Treatment: If the pig can swallow 
give it one to two ounces epson salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water. 
This will cool the system and assist in reducing the inflammation. Mix half 
an ounce acetate of lead, two ounces tincture of arnica in one quart of 
water; shake this well and dip in a sponge or piece of soft muslin and press 
it into the animaFs mouth; then draw it out again and repeat several times. 
Do this every two hours until the swelling is removed. If the tongue be- 
comes sore use a little of the alum. A very good remedy for sore tongue is 
vinegar four ounces, honey four ounces, acetate of zinch one drachm. 



CHAPTER II. 

DISEASES OF THE STOMACIH. 

Indigestion. — The pig, like all other animals, is subject to derangements 
of the stomach. If it is kept too long on one kind of food, the animal be- 
gins to lose its ai)petite, is dull and soon loses llesh, and may suffer from in- 
digestion or diarrhd'a. It is therefore necessary in order to keep a hog in 
goad health to give it a mixed diet or a change occasionally. There are a 
number of diseases that originate from a faulty digestion; a cough in pigs is 
often caused from it, also fevers, etc. AV'hen a pig is off its food without 
any noticeable disease being present, it is always wise to give it a dose of 
physic, as in the great majority of cases a dose of ])hysic to clean out the 
stomach and bowels will usually prevent serious trouble. One to two ounces 
epson salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water, or if there is any tendency 
to diarrhd'a, from one to two ounces of castor oil will be found useful. In 
cases of impaired appetite in boss a teaspoonful each of tincture chloride of 
iron, gentian, and ginger given three times a day in a little water will be 
found to be an excellent remedy after the physic has operated. 

Qastritis. — Intlammation of the stomach is not a common disease in the 
pig, and is not often seen unless the animal his gotten some irritant sub- 
stance, such as a poison, and sometimes by indigestible food. The symptoms 
are vomiting, great pain, the pig is very restless, moving about from one place 
to another, and squealing, refuses food, but may be thirsty. If the cause can 
be found treat accordingly. If the aninnal is poisoned by an alkaline sub- 
stance give vinegar. If by acids give alkalies, such as bicarbonate of soda, 
whitewash, chalk, etc., then give flaxseed tea. oil, or barley water, and from 
twenty to twenty-five drops of laudanum every two or three hours. If it is 
from indigestion' give a duse of castor oil, follow this by giving flaxseed tea 
or gum arable dissolved in water. After the physic operates give twenty-five 
drops of tincture of opium or two grains of powdered oi)ium. If there is 
persistent vomiting give from ten to twenty drops of a two per cent, solution 
of prussic acid in a little water. We have little benefit from external treat- 
ment in the hog. A blister such as good strong mustard may be rubbed over 
the stomach. When the animal becomes convalescent feed on oatmeal and 
milk for a week or two. 

Meat Brine. — Salt in moderate quantities promotes digestion and the gen- 
eral health of the ani":>ial; but in too large quantities it deranges the stomach 
and bowels, causing the formation of gas in the stomach and bowels, diarrho'a, 
vertigo, convulsions, and paralysis and death in from eight to twenty-four 
hours. The mucous membrane of the stomach and bowels are found after 
death, highly injected and intlamed, and in some cases the brain is congested. 
If a pig should get too much brine or salt in any way, it is best to give it an 
emetic. A tablespoonful of mustard rubbed up in half a pint of warm water 
will answer the purpose. Then give two grains of opium in a little sweet oil 
or melted lard every two hours, to relieve the pain. If the animal is thirsty 



Diseases of tub Pig. 25 



give it water in which barley, slippery elm bark or gum arabic has been put. 
This will assist in relieving the pain and inliammation. If there is severe 
diarrhd-a add live grains of acetate of lead to the opium. If there are con- 
vulsions give half an ounce bromide of potassium every two hours in a little 
water until relieved. In paralysis give one teaspoonful each of spirits of nitric 
ether and aromatic spirits of ammonia in half a glass of cold water every two 
hours until better. If there should be constipation give two ounces castor oil. 



CHAPTER III. 

DISEASES OF THE INTESTINES. 

ConsUpatioii. — Sows and young pigs that have been too highly fed are 
often liable to constipation. Symptoms: The feces, if passed, are dry and 
hard; the pig strains and may pass a few hard pieces. The appetite soon be- 
comes impaired and the animal is dull. When this is noticed give a dose of 
epsom salts, one to two ounces, and change the food to soft, easily digested 
materials, such as hot bran mashes mixed with linseed tea. In severe cases 
it will be necessary to give the animal injections of warm water and soap, 
('harcoal is of use in promoting digestion. Young pigs should be looked after, 
especially if they are getting skimmed milk. ]Joiled flaxseed n.ixed with 
skimmed milk is very nutritious and will prevent constipation. 

Diarrh<va.—Y onng pigs that are sucking and those lately weaned are lia- 
ble to darrhd'a; older hogs are seldom attacked with scours. The principal 
causes of dirrho^a are an insutlicient supply, or poverty of the milk which is 
given by the sow, improper food, irregular feeding, cold and damp styes, ajid 
sudden changes of temperature; green food given to sows with litters, when 
they have been too long deprived of it, not infrequently causes the complaint. 
If this disease is not checked it may cause inflammation of the bowels and 
severe prostration, ending in death. The excrements of the affected animal 
are of a whitish color. If the animal should be suffering from a cold or any 
other weakening disease the chances of recovery will be considerably dimin- 
ished. When the young sucking pigs are affected with this disease the sow 
should be shut up in a comfortable dry place and fed upon dry corn for a 
few days with sweet skimmed milk, and if the young pigs are old enough to 
eat they should get boiled bread and milk with a heaping teaspoonful of pre- 
pared chalk three times a day. If this does not check it give ten to twenty 
drops of tincture of opium, two teaspoonfuls of tincture of catechu, and a 
teasi)Oonful 6f tincture of ginger in a little water three times a day. If this 
does not succeed give one grain of powdered opium and live grains of acetate 
of lead in a little starch gruel three times a day. These doses are for pigs 
six weeks old; for very young pigs, half the quantity; for adult pigs, twice 
the above. A common remedy and one that is sometimes useful, is to mix 
soot with the food. It will do no harm if it does not cure. 

ENTERITIS. (INFLAMMATION OF THE BOWELS.) 

This is a very fatal disease in all animals, especially in the pig. Causes: 
Colds, injuries, irritating substances in the food, obstinate constipation and 
diarrhd'a. Symptoms: A pig affected with this disease refuses food, is thirsty, 
has a dull appearance about the eyes, the mouth is dry and of a purplish red 
color, and the skin of a white pig will also be red. Generally the animal is 
weak, costive and flatulent, it remains in the stye or will be found lying in 
some corner. If the animal moves it will groan with pain. The temperature 
will be elevated to one hundred and four or one hundred and five, and the 
pulse one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty beats per minute; 
the animal breathes fast and is in great distress. If it is not relieved in a 
few days it will likely die. Treatment: In the early stages tincture of acon- 
ite in five to eight drop doses, in a little water is useful. Give one to two 
ounces epsom salts to clean out the intestines and deplete the system. After 



26 Berkshire Year Book. 



the physic has operated give two to three grains of powdered opium in a little 
linseed tea, barley or rice water; this should be given three or four times a 
day. Rub the belly with mustard made up with hot water, once a day for a 
day or two. Keep in a warm, dry place, and give all the cold water the ani- 
mal will drink. 

WORMS. 

There are several varieties of worms which infest the pig. The most 
common one is the large round worm called echinorhynchus gigas, a parasite 
which propagates rapidly, and produces serious disturbance of the bowels of 
young pigs. The pin-worm (Cascarides) and the tape worm (tieniif) are oc- 
casionally associated with the large round worm, causing weakness of the 
loins, and a stiffness of the hind legs. The animal has a ravenous appetite, 
but fails to pvit on flesh. The pigs grunt, cry incessantly, and have a ten- 
dency to bite each other. The animal is subject to much irritation, and will 
rub itself against anything that comes in its way. The skin is tense, and in 
some cases it may crack. The faces are hard, eyes sunken, and the mem- 
brane of the mouth pallid. Debility increases, and the pig may die from ex- 
haustion. Treatment: For the large round worm give from three to four 
grains of santonin for a full grown pig, and one to two grains for small pigs. 
This should be given in the evening and morning for three days on an empty 
stomach, then give two ounces castor oil as a physic. Another good remedy 
is to give two teaspoonfuls of turpentine in four ounces of linseed oil, on an 
empty stomach. Sulphur in tablespoonfuJs twice a day in the food or wood 
ashes will sometimes remove the worms, and may be tried. For pin-worms 
infuse one ounce of quassia chips in a pint of boiling water. Inject water to 
clean out the bowel, then inject the infusion. One application is usually 
sufficient, but if not, repeat in one week. The tape-worm is best expelled by 
giving from fifteen grains to one dram of areca-nut in a little milk, or rtreca- 
nut one dram, fluid extract of the ma!e shield fern one dram, for an adult 
hog, one-half for a six month old pig, and a fourth for a pig of five or six 
weeks old. Follow this in twelve hours by two ounces castor oil. or any 
other physic. There is a very slender white worm which is sometimes lound 
in the intestines of the hog, and in some cases it will burrow into the walls 
of the intestine, setting up inflammation or the formation of pustules. These 
worms when numerous are very dangerous; they are best gotten rid of by 
giving two teaspoonfuls of the fluid extra'-t of spigelia and fluid extracc of 
senna at a dose for the adult hog. Repeat in a week if necessary. All worm 
medicines should be given on an empty stomach. 

Kidney TFor?;t.— Live worms have been found in the kidneys of both the 
hog and the dog. I have found these worms in the kidneys of healthy pigs 
that were slaughtered for food, apparently doing no harm. The loss of power 
of the hind parts of pigs, which has been attributed to kidney worms, is not 
due to the kidney worm, but to paralysis of the muscles. I have carefully 
investigated such cases by miking post mortem examinations of paralyzed 
pigs, supposed to be affected by kidney worm, but failed to find any. There 
are no symptoms by which we can detect them. Some say they have found 
the eggs of the worms in the urine o' the pig. If such is the case they could 
be detected in that manner. 

INVERSION OF THE RECTUM, 

This is an accident which occurs frequently, in the hog, caused by vio- 
lent straining from constipation or diarrha-a or from an injury, or anything 
which causes a weakening of the muscles of the bowels, and it not having 
sufficient strength to be able to retract the protruded bowel. When it is ex- 
posed to the air it soon swells and becomes dark in color, and from its in- 
creased size it is sometimes with difficulty returned. Treatment: Bathe the 
protruded bowel with warm water for tt-n minutes to clean it thoroughly, 
then bathe it for ten minutes more with a little of the following: Acetate 
of lead two drams, tincture of opium one ounce, water one pint. Then turn 
the pig on its back and push the bowel into its place with the fingers, and 
give the pig two grains of opium to prevent straining. It will be necessary 



Diseases of the Pig. 27 



In some cases to put in one stitch of catgut across the opening to keep it 
from slipping out. The animal should have a dose of castor oil, and be fed 
for a few days on oat meal gruel and milk. In cases where it is impossible 
to return it, or if it should be in a state of mortification, it will be necessary 
to remove it with the knife, and sew the gut to the margin of the anus with 
catgut or silk. Some cases of this kind do well. 

HEMORRHOIDS (PILES.) 

Occasionally we find a case of piles in pigs, usually caused from consti- 
pation. Symptoms: The animal is stiff in its hind parts and has a disin- 
clination to move its hind legs, both in standing and lying. The feces are 
dry and tinged with blood. In some cases there is fever when the animal 
refuses its food, the nose is dry and the pvilse is full and hard, and the breath- 
ing is fast and labored, and there is an anxious look and sunken eyes. In 
such case where there is no external appearance of the piles the finger should 
be introduced and if piles is the cause of the trouble they can be easily felt, 
as tumors inside the gut, and gentle pressure makes them bleed, the part 
will be hot and painful to the touch. Treatment: There is no remedy that 
has been so successful as to give a full dose of aloes, as this medicine acts 
on the large intestines; and as it causes a great pouring out of secretions it 
relieves the congestion which is the cause of the piles. This medicine has 
been condemned by some practicioners; nevertheless experience has proven 
it to be an excellent remedy. Give from fifteen to twenty grains of aloes 
made up into a pill and give is at a dose to the adult hog; smaller doses for 
young ones. Inject cold water into the rectum to clean it out and also to 
assist in relieving the congestion. Then inject tannic acid ten grains, water 
one ounce. After the physic operates freely and a few injections of the cold 
water and tannic acid solution have been used the piles will disappear. 

HERNIA (RUPTURE ) 

TJmhilical fTerma.— (Rupture at the Navel Cord.) This is caused by a 
nonclosure of the part soon after birth or from the opening being unnatur- 
ally large. Sympioms: There will be a bunch at the navel opening, soft to 
the touch and at times it will be larger. The animal does not, in the ma- 
jority of cases, suffer any inconvenience from it unless it becomes larger or 
strangulated. Treatment: Turn the pig on its back and push the intestine 
in, then pass a skewer through the skin over the opening close to the muscles 
of the belly, (a skewer is easily made by taking a small piece of wire and 
making it sharp on one end so that it will go through the skin) then tie a 
string around the skin between the skewer and the muscles of the belly and 
draw it tight enough to cause the stoppage of the circulation, but not so 
tight as to cause quick sloughing. If it does not slough off in a week tie on 
another string a little tighter. This will cause adhesive inflammation of the 
part and close the opening. I have operated on a number in this way with 
the best results. 

Scrotal Tfernm.— (This rupture is in the Scrotum or Pouch.) The canal 
leading from the cavity of the abdomen to the pouch containing the testicles 
is sometimes large, allowing the intestine to pass into the pouch, this form- 
ing a rupture. It can take place only in the male animal. Symptoms: There 
is an increase of size of pouch and it will feel soft and dougy. Place the 
animal on its back and press the intestines into the abdominal cavity, then 
divide the outside skin of the pouch and draw out the testicles as far as 
possible and put on a wooden clamp without any caustic being put on it 
serve the other one in the same way, then remove the testicles with the knife! 
The clamp inclosing the inside coverings will prevent the bowels from pro- 
truding. Let the clamps remain on until they slough off, and by this time 
the part beneath the clamp will have healed. If the part should swell much 
bathe it with a lotion made by putting half an ounce of acetate of lead to 
the quart of water. Do this several times a day. Keep the hog in a clean 
place until well.

CHAPTEE IV. 

DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS. 

Simple catarrh or common cold usually affects the membrane lining the 
nasal chambers and sometimes extends to the eyes. Causes: Exposure to 
cold, or to alternations of temperature and damp wet beds. Symptoms: It 
is indicated by sneezing, redness and dryness of the membrane of the nose, 
followed by a discharge, at lirst thin, then becoming thick. If the inflamma- 
tion extends to the back part of the mouth or throat there will be a slight 
cough. In some cases it affects the eyes, causing the eyelids to swell, fol- 
lowed by a copious flow of tears. Treatment: The animal should be placed 
in a comfortable dry place and get hot bran mashes with a spoonful of 
ground ginger in them. This is usually all the treatment necessary. If the 
discharge should continue beyond two weeks there is danger of its becoming 
chronic. In this case give the pig ten grains sulphate of iron in its food 
twice daily for a few weeks. A little tar mixed in the food is also useful. 

Malignant Catarrh.— This disease affecting hogs somewhat resembles 
glandeis in the horse and it is not common in this country, and when it 
advances to the second stage it will be better to destroy the pig and thus 
prevent it spreading to other hogs than to attempt a cure. Symptoms: There 
is considerable discharge from the nose and eyes. The eyelids are swollen 
and the animal keeps as much as possible in the dark. The disease extends 
gradually to the back part of the mouth and throat causing swelling of the 
mucous membrane, thus causing a cough, with dithculty in breathing. The nose 
becomes thick and ill-shaped, the discharge becomes more and more like blood, 
the animal has considerable fever, the breathing is increased in frequency, the 
beat of the heart is feeble and fast, there is great thirst, in some cases the 
animal may eat food, but it loses flesh rapidly, the feces are black and hard, 
the urine high colored. If the disease is not checked the animal either dies 
from suffocation or it pines away. Treatment: Give a dose of castor oil, one 
to two ounces. Follow this by giving five to eight drops nitro-hydrochloric 
acid three times a day in oatmeal gruel. Bathe the head and face with ace- 
tate of lead half an ounce, water one quart. If the cough is troublesome 
give fifteen to twenty drops of tincture of opium in a spoonful of water and 
rub mustard made up with hot water on the throat. 

Quinsy of the i^i//.— This disease is characterized by sore throat and by 
the appearance of a swelling on the sides of the neck at the angle of the 
lower jaws and sometimes extending between its wings. When the swelling 
is large it presses on the larynx (upper part of the wind-pipe) causing difficult 
breathing, and in some cases there is a tendency to 'suffocation. This is a 
local disease and usually yields to treatment. Give the pig all the cold water 
it will drink, put half a' dram of chloride of ammonium to the quart of water. 
Bathe the swollen neck with hot water for half an hour three times a day 
and rub on a little camphorated liniment after each bathing. In a few days 
the animal usually gets better. There is a malignant form of this disease 
which is very contagious, called "gangrenous angina." This disease differs 
from the other in being constitutional and difficult to treat. Symptoms: Dull- 
ness, stiff gait, loss of appetite, fever, followed by difficult breathing, gasping 
for breath, cough, swelling of the tongue, difficulty in swallowing, and symp- 
toms of suffocation. There is a hard inflammatory swelling on the outside of 
the wind-pipe extending down to the fore leg. After a few days the lining 
membrane of the mouth may slough off, and there is great tendency to gan- 
grene, and it may prove fatal in from one to three days. In cutting into the 
swollen parts after death there is an extensive exudation of blood, lymph, and mor- 
tified tissue. The organs of the body are generally dark colored from the accumu-, 
lation of dark blood in the vessels.' The treatment in this disorder is to give, 
in the early stage, potassio-tartrate of antimony four grains, ipecacuanha six 
grains, white hellebore six grains, mix and give in a little food or throw into 
the mouth. Give from one to two ounces of castor oil. Blister the swelling 
with cantharides two drachms, lard one ounce, and if the swelling does not go 



Diseases of the Pig. 



clown inject into different parts of the swelling a little carbolic lotion, strength 
one drachm to half a pint of water. Blankets wrung out of boiling water and 
put around the neck is sometimes useful. One drachm of chlorate of potas- 
sium should be put in the drinking water to be used during the day. All the 
well hogs should be removed to some distance and each hog given half a 
drachm of hyposulphite of» soda in their food or drinking water for one 
week. 

LARYNGITIS AND PHARYNGITIS (SORE THROAT). 

This is a very common disease among all animals. The causes of sore 
throat are changes from heat to cold, or from a very cold place to one which 
is hot and not well ventilated. Pigs being driven for some distance and heat- 
ed and allowed to cool oft too suddenly, are liable to be affected with sore 
throat. Symptoms: There will be a difficulty in swallowing food or water, 
hard dry cough, loss of appe ite, and there will be a rough soimd heard when 
the animal breathes. There is seldom any swelling on the outside of the 
throat, aud it can be easily distinguished from quinsy or malignant sore throat 
on this account. There will be a dribbling of saliva from the mouth. This 
disease readily yields to treatment. Mix two drachms of chlorate of potassium 
and one drachm of fluid extract of belladonna in a pnit of cold water and give 
the pig two tablespoonfuls of this three times a day, and rub mustard made 
up with hot water on the throat once a day for a few days. Allow the ani- 
mal plenty of clean, cold water to drink and any kind of food it will eat. If 
the bowels are constipated give injections of soap and water. If this is not 
effectual give one ounce of castor oil. If the cough is severe give from ten 
to twenty-tive drops of tincture of opium, according to the size of hog, three 
or four times a day until it is relieved. 

CONGESTION OF THE LUNGS. 

When pigs are fat they have not much breathing space left and stand 
fast movements very badly, and when pigs in this condition have to be driven, 
especially if the day is warm, as soon as any of them show signs of fatigue 
it should be rested for a short time and be given a drink of water, or a pail 
of water should be thrown over it. The danger is of causing congestion of 
the lungs, which is nearly always fatal. It is also caused from cold and badly 
ventilated styes, such as are found in towns sometimes. Symptoms: The ani- 
mal is in great distress; if the pig is standing its head will hang and its fore 
legs will be wide apart and its flanks heaving at the rate of one hundred per 
minute. The mouth is wide open, the eyes are blood-shot, the heart beats 
tumultuously, and there may be a discharge of blood from the nose. The pig 
usually soon becomes unable to stand and lies down on its belly and breast 
with its nose resting on the ground. The legs are cold and the mouth hot. 
If the animal is made to rise it will only grunt, but in the majority of cases 
it will not rise. Treatment: In the early stages give one drachm of aromatic 
spirits of ammonia and one drachm of spirits of nitric ether in two table- 
spoonfuls of cold water, and repeat in bad cases in half an hour, and so on 
until the animal is rt-lieved. If the body is cold it should be covered. Hot 
whisky or brandy, in two tablespoonful doses, may be given if the above is 
not at hand. If this disease is not soon relieved it will either kill the pig or 
turn into intiammation of the lungs. 

PNEUMONIA (inflammation OF THE LUNGS). 

This disease attacks all kinds of animals, but there are none of them in 
which it is so fatal as in the hog. Especially is this the case if it is not at- 
tended to at once. Causes of pneumonia: Congestion of the lungs, if not re- 
lieved, will cause it; exposure to cold, confined in badly ventilated styes. It 
is sometimes the result of other diseases. Symptoms: Pneumonia is usually 
ushered in with a chill followed by fever, diflicvdt breathing, cough, and if the 
animal is made to move it will show signs of pain, may squeal. Occasionally 
the characteristic symi)toms of the disease are preceded for some days by gen- 
eral uneasiness, dullness, loss of appetite, and more or less fever. When the 



30 Berkshire Year Book. 



disease is established the breathing will be fast, increased from sixteen to 
twenty per minute, which is the natnral breathing, to between forty and fifty 
and sometimes sixty per minute. The pulse will increase from seventy to 
eighty, which is the natural pulse of the pig, to one hundred and twenty to 
one hundred and forty per minute and full. The pulse of the pig is easiest 
felt on the fore leg below the knee. There is a cough, more or less, from the 
beginning to the end, and it is sometimes very distress ng and continuous, 
At first it is dry; after a few days it becomes softer and not so distressing. 
About this period the animal will cousrh up some vescid matter and occa- 
sionally it will be mixed with blood. The bowels are usually confined and 
the urine scanty and high colored. As the disease advances, if the fever 
abates, the animal rests quieter and may take a little food; the cough is less 
frequent and soft, the number of res])irations are less frequent; the chances 
are good for the animal's recovery. On the other hand, if the fever persists 
and the animal is very restless, the temperature, which in the early stage 
would be one hundred and three to one hundred and four, will increase to 
one hundred and five to one hundred and six or seven, and the matter the 
animal coughs up is of a red rusty color, the eyes sunken, and great weak- 
ness, the animal will die. Treatment: To be of any use the pig should be 
attended to in the first stage of the disease. If the animal is fat give it a 
small dose, one half to one ounce epsom salts. Follow this by giving half a 
grain of calomel, a quarter of a grain of epecacuanha, and half a grain of 
opium every four hours, made into a pill or in two tablespoonfuls of 
milk or gruel. This should be continued for two or three days. If the ani- 
mal should show signs of increase of saliva in the mouth then stop giving 
this medicine. The sides should be rubbed with turpentine and raw linseed 
oil, equal parts, and a bandage applied. Kepeat this on the second day if 
necessary. In the early stages, if the temperature and pulse are up to one 
hundred and four or higher, give two to three drops fiuid extract of veratrum 
viride in a spoonful of cold water every three hours until the temperature 
and pulse are lowered. In the second stage give twenty to forty drops of the 
compound syrup of squills in a little syrup three times daily. In the advanced 
stages from one to two teaspoonfuls of turpentine in a tablespoonful of sweet 
oil is recommended. Keep the animal in a comfortable place, and if it is cold 
cover it with warm blankets and give it all the cold water it will drink and 
any kind of food it will eat. 

PLEURISY. 

This is an inflammation of the lining of the chest and may extend to the 
covering of the lungs. There is no more frequent inflammatory disease of 
animals than pleurisy. I believe that it often takes place without being 
recognized in hogs, as I have noticed in a number of pigs that have been 
slaughtered for food and in those which have died from disease, that there 
was visible signs of adhesion of the pleura found, showing that the animal 
had had an attack of pleurisy and had gotten over it. Causes of pleurisy: 
Cold, wet weather in the fall, or the pigs having wet beds. Animals which 
are subject to rheumatism are often attacked with this disease. It is a very 
serious disease in some seasons, and numbers of pigs die from it, and its 
true nature has not been known. Symptoms: This disease commences usu- 
ally with a chill and sharp pain in the side, which often makes the pig walk 
lame on the fore leg of the affected side or stiff when both sides are attacked. 
There is a short spasmodic cough causing much distrt-ss. The breathing' is 
fast and short and the pulse is hard and fast. In examining the pig on pres- 
sure of the ribs of the affected side or sides the animal will evince pain. It 
is not easy to make physical examinations of pigs, as they will squeal on 
the slightest pressure, sometimes when nothing is the matter with them. If 
it is a severe case there will be an elevation of the temperature with con- 
siderable fever, the animal will refuse its food, grunt with pain, be very 
restless, moving about or lying on its belly. When a case of this kind is 
seen and the absence of other diseases we may expect that it is a case of 
pleurisy, if the acute symptoms are not soon relieved there will be a pour- 
ing out of fluid (serum) into the cavity of the chest, and if the quantity is 
great it will cause suft'ocation and death. In other cases there may be only 



t)lSEAS£S OF THE PlG. 31 



adhesions and the animal recover. Treatment: In the early stage give from 
twenty to forty drops of the tluid extract of veratrum viride in a little water 
every three hours until the pulse and fever are reduced. If there is much 
pain and troublesome cough give two to twenty-five drops of tincture of 
opium three or four times a day in a little water until the cough is relieved. 
If the animal is constipated give one ounce epson salts dissolved in half a 
pint of cold water. Give a ten-grain dose of nitrate of potassium in a little 
water once a day to keep the kidneys active. In the second stages of the 
disease advantage is obtained by giving from eight to ten grains of iodide 
of potassium twice a day in a little water. Also give from twenty to forty 
drops of syrup of iodide of iron. If there is much jerking of the heart give 
from five to fifteen drops of the tincture of digitalis three times a day in a 
little water. Put a blister of Spanish fiy on the side or sides. When the 
animal is convalescent give mild tonics, such as cod liver oil, in doses of 
from half to a tablespoonful; of the fiuid extract of wild cherry in drachm 
doses three times a day. Give the hog any kind of food it will eat. 

Cough — Cough in pigs may arise from several causes: irritation of the 
throat, pneumonia, congestion, pleurisy, indigestion and worms. Pind the 
cause if possible and treat as directed for the diseases mentioned. Hogs will 
sometimes be troubled with cough and to all appearance be in good health. 
Such a cough is likely caused by an irritation of the throat not sufficient to 
cause the animal to be sick. A number of hogs may be coughing at the 
same time if it is from throat irritation . See that the pigs have good, warm 
dry beds and give each hog one to two teaspoonfuls of sulphur mixed with 
two tablespoonfuls of syrup in a little food twice a day for a few days. 
Sometimes a physic of epsom salts, one to two ounces dissolved in half a 
pint of water, will remove a cough, and if the animal seems to be in good 
health I think the physic is an excellent remedy. If the cough is very 
troublesome give a tea'spoonful of the compound syrup of squills twice a 
day for a few days. This will usually relieve the cough. Also rubbing a 
little mustard on the throat once a day for a few days will often be useful. 



CHAPTER y. 



DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. 



J^p^'Zejos^.— Epilepsy is characterized by paroxysmal attacks of convul- 
sions, with loss of sensibility and consciousness, with fever.— (Wood.) This is 
a common disease among young hogs and usually passes oft' by the time they 
are nine months old. It is caused by a deranged condition of the nervous 
system not well understood. Symptoms: In hogs the first thing noticed is 
an unsteady gait, the legs seeming to overlap each other, twisting of the 
muscles of the face, champing of the jaws, followed by loss of consciousness, 
falling to the ground. In slight cases the convulsive movements after the 
animal comes to the ground are of a transient nature and very feeble and 
may be confined to one limb or to the muscles of the face. The animal will 
lie on the ground for a few minutes or it may be only for a few seconds, 
then getting up and moving off as if nothing had happened. In other cases 
the animal may be dull and sick for a few hours or even a day or two. In 
some few cases the convulsions are so severe that the head is thrown back- 
wards and forwards and the whole body is distorted into a variety of shapes. 
The muscles of respiration and the heart are acted upon, sometimes causing 
death,' Treatment: When the spasms are on no medicine can be given, the 
dashing of cold water over the animal's body will sometimes stop the con- 
vulsions. After the attack has passed off or between attacks a dose of 
physic— two or three drops of croton oil dropped into the mouth or on the 
tongue— is very useful. It is supposed to be caused sometimes by worms. 
If such is the case give the medicine recommended for worms. Bromide of 
T)otassium given in one or two drachm doses in the food twice a day is good. 
in older cases five drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic given twice a day 
in food and continued for several weeks often cures, '

CViorea.— This disease affects a mnscie or muscles in some part of the 
body, causing it to jerk involuntary. This disease does not do any particular 
harm to the hog, and medicine seems to have very little effect on it, and I 
do not consider it is necessary to try any treatment in the hog. 

Paralysis. -This is a common disease of the pig, usually affecting the 
hind part. It usually makes its appearance suddenly, although in some few 
cases it may coni'j on gradually, and does not cause any sickness or loss of 
appetite. The pig is sure to be weak on its hind parts and very soon it is 
unable to stand and if made to move will drag its hind legs after it. Tlb 
causes of this trouble are not understood and by some it was thought to be 
kidney worms, but such is not the case. Treatment: Give the pig one ounce 
castor oil and one drop croton oil at a dose. Follow this by giving eight to 
ten grains of iodide of potassium at a dose tT;ice a day in the drinking water 
or food for a week. This will cause the absorption of any effusion that may 
have taken place in the nerve sheath if any. At the end of a week if the 
animal is not better give it twenty to twenty live drops tincture of nux 
vomica in a little water twice a d^y aud continue it for three weeks if neces- 
sary. Rub the back and loins once a day with a little compound soap lini- 
ment. 

PALPITATION OF THE HEART. SPASMS OF THE DIAPHRAM. (THUMPS.) 

This derangement is frequently seen in pigs, and it is not very easy to 
ascertain exactly whether it is spasms of the diaphram or nervous palpitation 
of the heart. This disease is caused by some irritation of the nervous sys- 
tem, affecting either the heart or diaphram. or in some cases probably both. 
Symptoms: The pig is seen to stand and its body is jerked forwards and 
backwards every second or so; in some cases it is very slight, and in others 
it is violent, and a sound is heard as if some one were striking inside the 
hog with a hammer, causing the whole body to shake. 1 have caught the 
hog so affected to try and tind whether it was the hearfs action or the dia- 
phram that was affected, but the animal struggled so that an examination 
could not be satisfactorily made. It is not of much importance which part 
is affected, as the treatment is the same in both cases. Treatment: Give a 
dose of physic, salts or castor oil; follow this by giving ten to tifteen drops 
of the tincture of digitalis and tifteen to twenty drops of tincture of opium 
every three hours in a little water. In severe cases the dose can be increased 
or given oftener. This disease is usually curable. 

HEART DISEASE. 

Disease of the heart is of very rare occurrence in the hog, on account 
of the great majority being sent to the market by the time they are one year 
old, and diseases of this organ have not had time to develop. Although I 
have had no well marked cases of this in the hog, and very little has been 
written on the subject, yet I have no doubt but that some of the sudden 
deaths which sometimes take place in pigs are due to some form of heart 
trouble. The animal Is usually in such apparent good health up to the time 
of death that no warning is given, and it Is only after making a post mortem 
examination that the true nature of the disease is discovered. 

TETANUS (lock .TAW). 

Tetanus is powerful and painful spasms of the voluntary muscles, the 
superficial muscles, such as those of the face, neck, back and legs first, then 
involving the deep-seated muscles, especially the muscles of respiration, caus- 
ing painful and difficult breathing. Causes: Injuries, cold, wet beds, and it 
appears at times without any apparent cause. It has been reported that hogs 
which ate the fiesh of a horse which died of tetanus contracted the disease. 
This requires more confirmation, as I have known of a number of cases in 
which both the hog and dog devoured the carcass of horses which died from 
this disease without producing any ill effect on them. Symptoms: The animal 
is noticed to champ its jaws and froth at the mouth; the muscles of the face 
soon become so contracted that the animal cannot move them. The nose is 



Diseases of the Pig. 33 



elevated and the membrane of the eyes drawn over them. By degrees the 
animal becomes stiff all over, and if made to move or excited the contraction 
will be increased and may throw the animal over. The tail is elevated, and 
in some cases the back is bent downwards. In some cases the animal is una- 
ble to swallow liquids, caused by spasms of the pharynx. Soon the muscles 
of respiration become affected and the animal dies. The principal symptom 
is the locking of the jaws. This disease seldom attacks the pig. Treatment: 
The only successful treatment in lock-jaw is to give the pig one ounce of the 
bromide of potassium dissolved in a pint of cold water; or if the animal can 
suck gruel put the medicine in it. This should be repeated every two hours 
until the muscles relax. The only difficulty is in getting the medicine down, 
as in some cases the animal cannot swallow. There are a number of other 
medicines recommended, but I have tested them all without success; but the 
bromide of potassium will cure it if we can only succeed in getting enough 
of it into the animal. 



CHAPTER VI. 



DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS. 



This is by no means a common disease in swine. I have seen only two 
well marked cases of it, one in an old boar and the other in a young pig. the 
result of an injury. Causes: Cold rains, or cold water dropping on the'^back 
for a long time, injuries and sometimes kidney worms. It has been reported 
that it was caused by the feeding of brewers' grains and distillery slops. 
This, like heart disease, is most often found in middle or old age, seldom in 
the young, and is therefore seldom seen in the pig. 

Nephritis (Inriammation of the Kidneys). Causes: Injuries, cold rains, 
cold water dropping on the loins for a length of time, feeding on brewers' 
grains and distillery slops, kidney worms, etc. Symptoms: The animal is 
stiff in its hind parts, pain in the loins if the animal is made to move, or if 
slight pressure is brought to bear on the loins the animal will squeal. There 
is loss of appetite and high fever, fast pulse, rapid breathing and elevated 
temperature. The animal is restless, and a few drops of very highly colored 
urine will be passed at short intervals. In a few days, if the animal is not 
relieved, it will become very weak, staggering on its legs, especially the hind 
ones, the fever increases, and the brain becomes affected from the blood 
being poisoned by ureic salts not being eliminated from it, thus causing 
uremic poisoning. The stomach often becomes affected, causing vomiting, 
and there will be a strong smell of urine. Treatment: Give a dose of epsom 
salts, one to two ounces, dissolved in half a pint of cold water. If the 
stomach is irritable, give three to four grains of calomel and one grain of 
opium every two hours till three doses are taken. This combination has often 
the effect of quieting the stomach, so that it will retain salts. When the 
fever is very high, give from three to five drops of tincture of aconite in a 
little water every two hours until the fever is reduced. If there is much pain, 
one to two grains of opium should be given. The animal should be encour- 
aged to drink all the cold water possible; barley and rice water may also be 
given with the bottle. Sometimes sixty drops of tincture of opium, mixed 
with linseed tea, dnd given as an injection, is very useful. Apply mustard 
poultices to the loins. When the acute symptoms are passed, give a" teaspoon- 
ful of spirits of nitrous ether and a teaspoonful of fluid extract of buchu 
three times a day in a little water. If the heart is irritable, and there is great 
suppression of urine, bathe the loins with hot water, and saturate a piece of 
flannel with tincture of digitalis and lay it over them, or give from one to 
three drops of the fluid extract of digitalis in a little water three or four 
times a day. When the animal becomes convalescent, give it a teaspoonful 
of tincture of chloride of iron twice daily in a little syrup. Give the pig any- 
thing it will eat.

CHAPTER VII. 



ANTHRAX OK THE PIG. 



There are a number of diseases that come under this head and all are car- 
buncular in nature; that is, it is a constitutional fever at first affecting the 
finer tissues of the body and finally locating on some particular part, causing 
either large swellings or pustules on the part affected, and if there is a ten- 
dency to this disease prevailing, swine are sure to come in for a large share 
of it. A number of investigators consider it is caused by the presence and 
effects of bacillis, which is called by them "Bacillis Anthracis.'" If such is 
the case there would be no use of giving the affected animal any medicine, 
because it requires stronger medicine to destroy the bacillis than it does to 
destroy the finer tissues of the body. Thus the patient would be destroyed 
instead of the bacillis. On the other hand it is thought that when an animal 
becomes diseased it is in a condition favorable for the development of the 
bacillis; that is, that the diseased surfaces and tissue form breeding grounds 
for them and that they develop very rapidly. If this is the case -they are 
not the cause, but the result of diiease. Why this disease started and why 
it stops has not been explained satisfactorily. 

Apthous Fever.— This form of anthrax commences with loss of appetite, 
uneasiness, trembling, anxious and staring look, hot mouth, and an increased 
riow of saliva. Fever developes rapidly, and early in the attack eruptions 
appear on the membrane of the mouth. They are not numerous, but large, 
often the size of a bean, and considerable infiammation around the s^at of 
the vesicles, which are themselves at first white, then become brown or black. 
When they burst the tissue beneath sloughs rapidly and there is considerable 
fieter from the breath There is usually a foul-smelling diarrhcea mixed with 
blood, followed by great prostration. The animals die in from twenty-four 
to forly-eight hours from the beginning of the attack. Treatment: Give 
from ten to fifteen drops of the oil of gaultkeria in a tablespoonful of syrup, 
sweet oil or solution of gum arable three or four times a day. Wash the 
mouth several times a day with paroxide of hydrogen (fifteen volumes) mixed 
in two parts of water. 1 have had good results from this form of treatment. 

Neck Aiithra.v— The early symptoms of this form of anthrax are the 
same as the foregoing one. This one is characterized by an eruption of small 
boils, which anpear on the back of the neck and over the parotid glands be- 
low the ear. The bristles on the affected part stand erect, they are dry and 
stiff' and if they are pulled the pig suffers great pain. The skin is discolored, 
usually of a purplish tint. There is loss of appetite, great thirst, and grind- 
ing of teeth. The mouth becomes very hot and clammy. There may be a 
free discharge of saliva. In some cases the breathing is oppressed and there 
is a difficulty in swallowing. The affected part occasionally sloughs, ery- 
sipelas sets in, and the animal usually dies on the third day or it may live 
to the ninth or tenth day. Treatment in the early stage: Give one to two 
ounces epsom salts to clean out the bowels and cool the system. Then give 
five to ten drops of the strong nitro-muriatic acid three or four times a day 
mixed in a wine glassful of water; continue this for three days. Then give 
two grains of quinine three times a day along with twenty drops of chloride 
of iron in a spoonful of syrup for a few days. ]Jathe the affected parts with 
acetate of lead, half an ounce, carbolic acid half an ounce, water one quart. 
r>o this at least three times a day. Feed the pig on oatmeal and milk. Salt 
the oatmeal. If this treatment is faithfully carried out a great many of the 
affected animals will recover. 

Gangrenous ErysipeJan. — This is another of the anthrax diseases which 
aifects swine. It is sometimes called "wild-fire." This disease begins with 
fever, the animal appears dull, does not like to walk or stand, but lies buried 
in the straw or anything it can get into, the temperature is high, the pulse 
fast, and the breathing quick and short; red spots appear on the breast, belly 
and legs, often causing swelling of the skin, and in some cases it is dry and 
crackles on pressure, the whole of the skin of the affected part becomes very 



Diseases of the Pig. 35 



red, then bluish black, the animal loses the power of its legs and very soon 
dies from exhaustion. Treatment: Give a physic in the early stages: aloes 
ten grains, calomel four grains; give in a little gruel. Repeat in ten hours 
if it does not operate. Follow this by twenty to forty drops of the tincture 
chloride of iron in syrup three times a day; also give quinine' in four-grain 
doses once a day in water or syrup. Bathe with acetate of lead half an 
ounce, carbolic acid half an ounce, and water one quart; use this freely sev- 
eral times a day over the affected parts. Give plenty of clear cold water to 
drink and give it anything it will eat. 

Qangrenous Angina. — This form of anthrax is very common in the pig. 
Its principal seat is in the throat, and it is characterized by difficult breathing 
and a wheezing sound. There is swelling of the tongue and great difficulty lu 
swallowing, and the animal makes efforts to vomit. There is a painful swelling 
that appears on the outside of the throat, sometimes extending down between 
the fore legs. If the skin of the pig is white it will be red at first, afterward 
becoming a purple color. As the disease progresses the breathing becomes 
more difficult, and if not relieved the animal may die from suffocation. Treat- 
ment: In the early stages of the disease give a dose of epsom salts, one to 
three ounces; follow this by giving five to ten drops of the strong nitromuri- 
atic acid well diluted with water. If the tongue is much swolen treat as is 
recommended for intlammation of the tongue. When the swelling first makes 
its appearance blister it with biniodide of mercury one drachm, lard one ounce. 
If the swelling is extending down the neck inject a little lotion composed of 
peroxide of hydrogen one part, water four parts. This should be injected in 
different parts of the swelling. This remedy is a powerful antiseptic and will 
sometimes stop the progress of the disease, 

Entric Fever (Hog cholera).— Entric fever, I think, is the proper name 
for this disease, as the glands of the intestines are the parts affected in the 
majority of cases. In some few the heart and lungs are also affected. It is 
supposed to be caused by baccillis; but whence this baccilii goeth or whence 
it Cometh has not been discovered. It is like some of the other forms of an- 
thrax, it may or it may not be caused by a baccillis. AVe know that we have 
it and that it is a very fatal disease; some seasons much more so than others. 
It attacks hogs in all conditions of life— those that are confined and well fed, 
and those that are in the pasture field. It is no respecter of hogs, except the 
"old land pike." All I can do at present is to give the symptoms of the dis- 
ease as nearly as possible, as -all sickness of the pigs is called hog cholera. 
The sudden death of one or more hogs calls the attention of the breeder to 
the fact that something is wrong with his hogs. The hog is noticed to be 
dull; will neither seek food or water. If it can, it will be found in a dark 
place; the head is held very low, and the ears are loped. Often the signs of 
pain are well marked by the constant movement of some part of the body. 
It likes to lie on its belly and may be found in this position for hours. In 
some cases there will be violent vomiting and the brain becomes affected and 
the animal may become frantic, or it may lie in an unconscious state until it 
dies. In the early stages of the disease the feces are normal, but very soon a 
very fn'tid, black or dark diarrhcta sets in. The pulse rises to one hundred to 
one hundred and twenty-five per minute, and the heart beats are barely per- 
ceptible. There is a peculiar spasmodic breathing in all cases where thelungs 
become congested. There is iriarked weakness of the hind legs; the anin al 
staggers, its legs crossing each other, but differs from paralysis in its being 
able to move them until the last. Some time before death there are patches 
on the skin of a bluish or purplish color, especially on the in side of the hind 
legs. If these patches are pressed they will become pale, which does not occur 
in other diseases where the skin becomes discolored, such as in erysipelas. 
The temperature of the body is at first increased, but soon falls below normal, 
and I have seen in a few cases dark blood oozing through the skin. In a 
number of cases the animal dies in from three to six hours, others live for 
several days. Although an animal may die in from three to six hours from 
the time it is first noticed to be sick, there is no doubt but what the animal 
has been ailing more or less for several days before it is actually taken down 
sick. I have made post mortem examinations of pigs which, to all appear- 
ance, seemed well; but on opening them all the characteristics of the disease 



36 Berkshire Year Book, 



were present ir\ an undeviloped form. It is necessary to make a post mortem 
of the first hog that dies to enable iis to form a correct opinion as to the na- 
ture of the disease. 

Post-mortem appearance of the Hog that dies with this disease.-~ln re- 
moving the skin the tissue nnderneath it has the appearance as if the animal 
had been roughly used before death. The small blood vessels and the tissue 
beneath the skin are gorged with black blood. There is also quantities of 
yellow serum (yellow water). But it is in the intestines where we look for 
this disease. In splitting them open they are studded with pustules of various 
sizes and in various stages of disease decomposition; some are hard and can be 
seen from the outside of the bowel. I^lceration of the glands of the intestines 
takes place, and in some cases make an opening through the bowel. The walls 
of the intestines at the affected parts are thickened and black in color. There 
will be a quantity of black liquid feces. The other organs of the body are 
more or less conges ed, and in some cases, when the hog dies suddenly, I have 
found the same kind of pustules in the cavities and valves of the heart, which 
no doubt was the cause of the sudden death. The post-mortem appearance 
of swine, which I have made before the animal showed any outward signs of 
the disease, but belonged to an infected herd: On removing the skin the parts 
appeared healthy, but on opening the intestines numbers of pustules were 
found in them m the early stage of development, and the glands more or less 
enlarged. In fact, the pustules, I think, are nothing more or less than en- 
larged glands, as there are so many of the glands of the small intestines which 
are so small that they are hardly visible to the naked eye; so that it is clear 
that the disease is in progress for some time before the hog shows signs of 
it, and I think this is the time to treat the disease, and I think I have done 
it successfully in some few cases, but not of sufficient number to say that it 
is a fjct. In cases where the hog is actually sick I consider the case is too 
far developed to cure it, even if the medicine could be applied with a brush. 
There is a disease of the intestines which has very much the same symptoms 
as hog cholera, and I met with a number of cases of it last year. On making 
post-mortem examinations of these I did not find any discolorations of any 
importance under the skin. On opening the small intestines I found a slough- 
ing of the mucous membrane, which was black and very easily torn. I found 
in some cases as much as ten feet of the bowel thus affected in one place; 
but usually two to four feet, then a healthy part; then another patch, and so 
on through the greater part of the small intestines, but no pustules. It may 
be that sometimes it takes on this form. Treatment: All the well hogs should 
be separated from the diseased ones, and each adult hog should be given five 
to ten drops of strong nitro-muriatic acid, well diluted with water, twice a 
day, and two tablespoonfuls of turpentine in a little sweet oil once daily. For 
hogs from two to six month, half the above quantity. Unless this is properly 
given there is no use beginning. It is a great trouble when one has a num- 
ber of hogs to trear. The medicine can be given in the food, but it is neces- 
sary to separate each hog's food to be sure that one does not get too much, 
and another none or very little of it. I have had, to all appearance, good 
success by the use of the above, and I would be glad if farmers would report 
the results if they will try it and do it well. There are other remedies which 
have been recommended, especially that of the Bureau of Animal Industry at 
Washington, as follows: Wood, charcoal, sulphur, sodium sulphate, and anti- 
mony sulphide, one pound each; sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and so- 
dium hypersulphite, two pounds each. Thes"^ are to be completely pulverized 
and mixed and a daily dose of a large tablespoonful for each hog two hun 
dred pounds in weight. The medicine may be also used as a preventive of 
the disease. I have used this medicine with no apparent good results. There 
i^ no medicine which can compare with nitro-muriatic acid for purifying the 
blood and acting on the diseased tissue of the bowels. On that account it 
ought to be a useful medicine in the early stages of hog cholera. 



Diseases of the Pig. 37 



CHAPTEE VIII. 

SKIN DISEASES. 

Under this head there are a few eruptive diseases of the skin, and as 
they resemble each other in appearance, and the treatment being the 
same, I will only describe eczema. 

Eczema. — Eczema is the pustular stage of a deranged state of the skin. 
If noticed, the first appearance is a redness of the skin, followed in a few 
days by pustules, varying from the size of a pin head to the size of a large 
pea, or even larger. There is a discharge of a thin, somewhat irritant fluid 
from them, which in some cases causes the hair to fall off. It is usually fol- 
lowed by a considerable itching, causing the animal to rub itself, making the 
surface raw. After a time the parts dry up and heal, leaving the skin dry 
and hard, and in some cases it may crack, or in a few days a fresh crop of 
pustules make their appearance, and in this way the disease may remain for 
months if not relieved. The seat of this disease in pigs is the neck, breast, 
and inside of both fore and hind hgs. It is caused by some impurities in 
the system, or it may be the skin itself, as the animal is in its usual health, 
which it would not be if the blood was in a bad condition. I consider that 
the great majority of skin diseases are local, affecting the skin only. If the 
animal is fat, give it a dose of Epsom salts, one to two ounces, follow this 
by giving a tablespoonful of sulphur orce a day in its food for a week. This 
medicine partly leaves the body through the skin, and may on that account 
be useful. Bathe the affected parts three times a day with acetate of lead 
half an ounce, sulphate of zinc half an ounce, water one quart. If the skin 
becomes hard, use oxide of zinc one ounce, vaseline two ounces. In cases 
where the animal is thin in flesh, the cells of the skin may not be properly 
developed, resulting in disease of the skin. In this give the hog from five to 
ten grains of sulphate of iron, also a tablespoonful of cod liver oil twice daily 
in its food. We find this very useful. Use the same lotion to the skin as in 
the other case. 

Mange. — This disease is caused by a parasite which burrows under the 
scarf skin, causing considerable irritation, destroying it so that, scabs form; 
and on account of the great itchiness of the part the animal rubs it, causing 
the part to become a raw sore. This disease is contagious from one pig to 
another. It generally appears first on the thin parts of the skin under the 
arm, behind the ear, inside of the thighs, and upon the back. This disease in 
its early stage resembles eczema, but if the eyesight is good and assisted by 
the bright sunlight, the parasites may be seen as a moving white speck, but 
can be readily seen by a small magnifying glass. The cause of this disease 
is by contagion; that is, the parasites themselves or their eggs must get on 
the skin in order to produce the disease. It is therefore necessary that all the 
unaffected pigs should be removed from the premises where the diseased ones 
are or have been, and the wood work of the styes washed with a strong solu- 
tion of carbolic acid. Treatment. — Wash the pigs all over with soft soap and 
water, then rub in well dry sulphur. When the sulphur comes in contact with 
the secretions from the sores, it forms a compound poisonous to the parasites. 
lu a day or two give the animal another washing, and rub on some more sul- 
phur. A very sure remedy is to boil for one hour two ounces of stavesacre 
seeds in one and one half quarts of water, and keep it nearly boiling for an 
hour longer, make up the water to the quantity originally used. Such a so- 
lution rubbed into the skin not only kills the parasite, but its eggs also. Re- 
peat in a week if necessary. Another is to steep one part of tobacco in twenty 
parts of boiling water for a few hours, and after washing the jiig apply a 
little of this to the affected parts with a sponge. It the surface to be cov- 
ered is large, only apply it to one part to-day and to the other to-morrow. 
For instance, if the neck and the legs are affected, apply to the neck first, 
then to the other parts the day following, and there will be no bad results 
from the use of the tobacco, and it is an excellent remedy when carefully used.

Warts.— These are caused by a deranged condition of the scarf skin, but 
subsequently the true skin becomes affected, thus producing on the surface 
of the body growths of various sizes. When these are rubbed or bruised they 
ulcerate, and thus form fungus like masses, projecting from ttje skin. They 
are very unsightly, and bleed on the slight(-st pressure. In some cases they 
are flat, spreading over the skin. Treatment. — For those which project from 
the skin and have a neck, tie a piece of sharp cord tightly around the base. 
If it does not slough off in a week, tie on another. When it sloughs off touch 
the part with terchloride of antimooy once a day for a few days, to destroy 
the roots of the wart. In cases where they are flat, scrape off the scurf until 
the blood begins to ooze, then apply a little of the antimony to it with a 
feather. On the second or third day remove the scab that forms, and apply 
a little more of the antimony, and so on until it is lower than the surround- 
ing skin. Then apply zinc oxide one ounce, vaseline two ounces, use a little 
once a day to heal it. If it should show signs of growing up again, use the 
antimony as above. 

Canker. — This is a sore which appears on different parts of the body. In 
the pig they are usually found on the face and ears. I have seen them com- 
mence on the margin of the nose and spread up to the eyes and ears, form- 
ing very unhealthy sores, in some cases affecting the health of the animal. It 
begins as little reddish sores, rapidly spreading, and in some cases causing deep 
sloughing, leaving the bone bare. Treatment: Wash the sores clean and apply 
a little terchloride of antimony every second day for a few times. This will 
destroy the unhealthy parts and leave them in a condition to heal. Then wash 
the parts once a day with the following solution: Permanganate of potassium 
twenty grains, water one ounce. Shake up well before using. If they are 
tardy in healing and have a tendency to spread, apply a little more of the an- 
timony, and so on until they heal. 

Lice.~T\\e causes of lice in pigs are bad food and filthy styes. When pigs 
are badly housed or kept, lice will likely appear and will spread from one pig 
to the other. The louse of the pig is of a dusky iron color on its back, and 
gray or ashy yellow on the belly, and has long legs. Lice are a great torment 
to the pig and it will be impossible to fatten a hog which is lousy, and they 
will prevent yovmg pigs from growing. There are a number of remedies for 
the destruction of lice. The best, if attainable, is to boil two ounces of staves- 
acre seeds in three pints of water, let it nearly boil for an hour longer, making 
up the water to the quantity originally used. AVet the animal all over with a 
little of this. It will kill the lice and the nits. Solutions of tobacco, one to 
twenty of water, is very effectual in destroying lice, and when used with cau- 
tion there is no danger. Cotton seed or raw linseed oil two parts, kerosene 
one part, this to be rubbad over the animal. The only objection is, it being a 
greasy substance, it sometimes clogs up the pores, and on that account either 
of the tirst two are preferred. 

SCARLET FEVER. 

This is a contagious disease characterized by inflammation of the fauces 
(back part of the mouth), and a scarlet rash appearing usually on the second 
day and ending about the sixth or seventh. This disease is often confounded 
with measles. Although there is a marked diff'erence in the human being it 
is not so easily distinguished in the hog unless the animal is white. If it 
should be mistaken for measles or measles mistaken for it, the error would 
not be of much consequence, as it has to be treated according to the statze 
and severity of the fever; that is, to confine the fever as much as possible 
and keep'up the strength of the patient. Symptoms: In the early stages there 
is langour, and stiffness caused by the muscles of the back being affected; 
there is a fast pulse, from one hundred to one hundred and twenty; high 
temperature, one hundred and four to one hundred and six; dry hot skin,' furred 
tongue, loss of appetite, great thirst, and great muscular weakness; sometimes 
the animal will vomit and the nervous system may be disordered, causing 
restlessness, delirium, stupor, coma, or convulsions. Very often from the be- 
ginning there is inflammation of the throat and back part of the mouth, 
which, on being examined, will be found red and swollen; the tongue will be 



Diseases of the Pig. 39 



coated with a yellovvish white fur, and projecting red pimples will be seen 
upon its surface, and is red at tha edges and tip. If the animal has white 
skin about the face, neck, belly or inside "of the lejgs, a red rash will be seen 
about the second or third day. In some cases minute pimples form, which 
are itchy and make the animal very restless. The bowels are usually consti- 
pated, but in some few cases there may be diarrhoea. In some cases the throat 
symptoms are very slight, but usually they are severe and occur before the 
rash and are very distressing, swelling both inside and out, and may prevent 
the animal from "swallowing and make the breathing very difficult. This dis- 
ease is readily mistaken for quinsy in the pig. The disease usually reaches its 
height in from live to nine days, and then, in the majority of cases, begins to 
decline. The rash fades; the dry heat of the skin diminishes; the pulse be- 
comes slower; the throat symptoms disappear, and the tongue loses its fur 
and becomes clean, and the temperature is reduced; but in some cases it takes 
on worse forms, and an animal may die l)efore the eruption appears, from 
shock upon the nervous system; or at any time dur-ing the attack from brain 
trouble or from intlammation attacking some of the vital parts, such as the 
lungs, stomach, bowels; or the animal may die from suffocation. The patient 
may sink from debility. As this disease requires to be treated according to the 
condition of the animal, changing the medicine sometimes several times daily, 
it makes it a very difficult disease for the farmer to treat. Professor Wood, 
in his practice of medicine, says: "In the vast majority of cases scarlet fever 
would end favorably without treatment; hence the reputation acquired by 
homeopathy in this disease." Therefore, if such a disease as this should break 
out, keep the animal in a good comfortable place, keep the bowels open by 
giving one ounce doses of epsom salts, or a seidlitz powder occasionally. 
Some recommend to give diluted acetic acid, ten droj s in a little water, sev- 
eral times a day. If there should be diarrhoea give one ounce castor oil and 
from ten to twenty drops of tincture of opium in it; repeat in ten hours if 
necessary. It is dangerous to check diarrhcea too quickly in this disease, as 
it is often an effort of nature to rid the system of poisonous material. If the 
throat is troublesome give ten grains of chlorate of potassium and three to 
five drops of fluid extract of belladonna in three or four tablespoonfuls of 
cold water three or four times daily. If the fever is very high and in the 
early stage of the disease, from five to ten drops tinct\ire of aconite in a 
spoonful of water, will in some cases keep it down; but this should not be 
carried too far, as it is a very reducing medicine and so is the disease, and 
there may be danger of collapse. If the animal is very weak and the pulse 
small, give stimulents, such as two teaspoonfuls of sweet spirits of nitre in a 
little water, three or four times a day, or two teaspoonfuls of good whisky in 
a little milk several times daily. Carbonate of ammonia is also good given in 
ten to twelve grain doses in a little cold water three times daily. In great 
debility quinine five grains, sulphuric acid two drops, water one ounce, twice 
a day is also useful. Clothes wrung out of boiling water and wrapped around 
the swollen neck, and continued for twelve to twenty-four hours often relieves 
the distress. 



CHAPTEE IX. 

APOPLEXY. 

This derangement is almost entirely confined to pigs that are too fat and 
are getting too much to eat. Symptoms: If the animal is eating it will stop 
suddenly, appear restless, stupid in its movements; the eyes become prominent 
and blood-shot, it foams at the mouth, falls over and may die in a few min- 
utes- others may fall over apparently dead, and in a few moments revive and 
get well. Treatment: Bleeding from the veins of the legs is recommended. 
Tie a string tight above the knee of the fore legs, the vein on the inside of 
the leg will be seen to fill up; then take a sharp knife and make an opening 
sufficient to allow a free stream of blood; serve the other one in the same 
way. After removing one and a half pints of blood pin up the wound in the 



40 Berkshire Year Book. 



skin. Press a small pin through the skin at the eJges of the wound and tie 
a thread around the ends of the pin,, thus closing the wound. Let the pins 
remain in until the skin is healed. Hogs that are over-fat and show any signs 
of dullness should get a dose of epsom salts, two to three ounces, and be fed 
sparingly for a few days until the dullness wears off. 

Anetnia.^This condition indicates that the blood of the animal is poor, 
both in quality and quantity, the result of disease or poor food. The blood 
contains too much water for the amount of solids in it; it is there Lore not 
sufficient to nourish the body, and the animal soon becomes emaciated and 
weak. The membranes of the mouth, nose and eyes are of a pale blue color, 
and if there is any white skin it will present the same appearance. The pulse 
is usually weak and fast; legs and ears are cold. Treatment: First remove 
the cause. If it is from insufficient food see that it gets a fair supply of good 
nutritious food; and if from disease, it will be necessary to give remedies to 
cure it, in combination with the medicine to be used for the cure of anemia. 
To assist in strengthening the blood give twenty to forty drops tincture chlo- 
ride of iron in a tablespoonful of cod liver oil, three times a day, and con- 
tinue it for several weeks. This is an excellent remedy for young pigs that 
are not thriving well. 

Plethora (Over-fat).— Some pigs, from being over-fed on highly nutritious, 
stimulating food, take on fat in such abundance that their legs are not strong 
enough to bear up the weight, and the hind legs sutfer worse. This trouble 
may be mistaken for partial paralysis. Treatment in such cases should con- 
sist in reducing the food, both in quantity and quality, and if necessary give 
the bog a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces dissolved in half a pint of 
cold water, and if the animal is on a hard lloor put it on a soft dirt tloor, or 
put saw-dust on it. 



CHAPTER X. 

DISEASES OF THE GENERATIVE ORGANS. 

The pig is not subject to diseases of these organs for the same reasons 
that have been mentioned before, that they are brought to maturity and the 
greater number of them are sold by the lime they are two years old or less. 

Diffiftult Pai-turition.~Th\s is sometimes met with in the so^(t, and on ac- 
count of the passage being too small to admit the hand, in the majority of 
sows, it is sometimes with great difficulty that we can relieve them. If a sow 
has been straining for some time and making no progress, it will be necessary 
to examine it to lind the cause. Causes: The j)arts may not be properly dila- 
ted, or the passage may be too small to allow the fo'tus to pass, or the parts 
may not be strong enough to expel the fo'tus. In other cases several may be 
expelled and one or more seem to block up the passage. Every farmer and 
stock breeder should have a pair of parturition forceps for the pig. They can 
be gotten from Hau?smann & Dunn, or any veterinary instrument makers. 
The forceps are useful for two purposes: To dilat^e the parts by smearing it 
with tluid extract of belladonna then introducing it into the passage, and by 
opening and closing the forceps, and the belladonna acting on the ])arts, dila- 
tion sometimes takes place rapidly. When this is accomplished there will be 
no further trouble. If it is caused by the fo'tus being too large warm the 
forceps and rub on a little lard and introduce them and get a hold of the 
foetus, and by gentle traction you will be able to remove it. I have removed a 
number in this way and they lived to grow into tine pigs. The fre-tus of the 
pig is not like the larger animals; their legs are not much hindrance If it is 
caused from want of strength of the walls of the uturus to expel its contents, 
give the sow from one to two drachms of the fluid extract ergot of rye in a 
little wa^er. every half hour until you have the desired result. In cases where 
the forceps have been nsed it is always safe to wash out the parts with tinc- 
ture of opium one drachm, carbolic acid thirty drops, water one pint. Inject 
warm water tirst to clean it out, then inject the lotion. This will act as a 



Diseases of the Pig. 41 



soothing antiseptic and will greatly soothe the irritated parts. If there should 
be any lacerations of the part they should be dressed with a little of the 
above lotion once or twice a day. 

Inversion o '■' the Uturus. — This sometimes takes place in the sow, and 
when it does the parts should be well washed and all particles of dirt remov 
ed, then bathe it for ten minutes with acetate of lead two drachms, tincture 
of opium two drachms, water one pint. Then take a piece of soft muslin and 
fold it into several thicknesses and put it over the ends of your lour fingers, 
which should be made into the form of a cone, and by jrentle pressure on its 
centre it can be pressed into its place. Remember, it is inverted, and the 
pressure mu>t be on its centre so that it will turn in. After this has been 
accomplished take a strong pin and' pass it through Irom side to side of the 
passage, then tie a j)iece of string in the form of the figure eight; that will 
keep the part closed and prevent the uterus from being pressed out again. 
The pin is to be left in for a few days, when it can be drawn out, leaving no 
sore. If the sow is very restless she should be given a dose or two of opium, 
two grains at a dose. Feed her on oatmeal and raik food for a few days. If 
the sow does not do well after such cases, give her twenty drops tincture 
chloride of iron, and a teaspoon ful each of tincture of ginger and gentian at 
a dose, in a little syrup, two or three times a day for a week. 

Mammitis (Infiammation of the Udder). — This is not a common disease in 
the sow, but it does take place at times. Causes: Injuries to the udder; also, 
the over-accumulation of milk, and chills. Symptoms: The udder is swollen 
and hard. If the skin is white, it will be red and very tender to the touch. 
When this takes place in the sow it is usually sick with considerable fever, 
loss of appetite and constipated bowels. Treatment: Draw off as much milk 
as possible, although this is no very easy matter in the sow; the inflammation 
causes the milk to coagulate and it separates into curd and whey. If she has 
young pigs allow ihem to suck; if not, draw off as much as possible with the 
fingers. Foment the parts well with hot water, then use acetate of lead half 
an ounce, tincture of arnica two ounces, water one quart. Bathe three times daily 
with the hot water and apply the lotion after each bathing. Give from one to 
two ounces of epsom salts; follow this by giving ten grains of nitrate of potas- 
sium in a little water three times a day. If matter should form, which is 
known by the part becoming soft and pitting with the fingers, either open it 
with the knife or let it break of its own accord. When it breaks inject water 
into it to clean it out, then inject carbolic acid one drachm, water half a pint. 
Clean the parts out twice a day with a little of this. If the parts become hard 
or caked rub on iodine one rlrachm. vaseline one ounce. Do this twice a week 
until the part becomes soft or the hardness disappears; also give from eight 
to ten grains of iodide of potassium in a litt'e water twice a day for a week. 
If any of it should become mortified, which can be easily seen by its bluish or 
black appearance, it will have to be removed with the knife and the part 
dressed with a little proxide of hydrogen, one part to four of soft water, twice 
a day; also, give twenty to thirty drops of tincture chloride of iron in a spoon- 
ful of syrup three times a day. 

Sore Teate.— Occasionally the teats of the sow become inflamed and are 
red, swollen and sore, and she does not want the young ones to touch her. 
This usually makes matters worse, as the udder at the base of the teats be- 
comes involved on account of the accumulation of milk. This trouble is 
caused by the teats commg in contact with dirt mixed with urine, which irri- 
tates the skin, causing it to crack and inflame. Mud and water are not likelv 
to do this. It is also caused by the sow traveling through poisonous weeds 
when they fre wet with dew or rain. To avoid this trouble keep the stye of 
the sow clean, and, if possible, have all obnoxious weeds removed from the 
pasture where nursing sows are kept. Treatment; Bathe the parts well three 
times a day with acetate of lead half an ounce, water one quart, then rub 
over the affected parts after bathing, glycerine two ounces, tannic acid twenty 
grains, water four ounces; shake up well before using. If the animal is fever- 
ish give her one to two ounces of epsom salts, dissolved in half a pint of 
water; also give ten grains of nitrate of potassium in the food or drinking 
water two or three times a day. This derangement is sometimes caused by 
the youug pigs having sore mouths. If such is the case, sponge the mouth 



42 Berkshire Year Book. 



with equal parts of vinegar and honey mixed with borax, a teaspoonful to 
every two ounces. A few applications usually effects a cure. 

ORCHITIS (INFLAMMATION OF THE ORCHITIS.) 

This disease is caused by injuries to the part, such as blows, bites from 
other pigs, wounds penetrating the testicle. It is also caused by feeding too 
much stimulating food in hot weather or medicines that stimulate the gen- 
erative system, such as caiithandes, rue, tansy, dameana. Symptoms: Swell- 
ing of ttie part, which is hot and tender to the touch, the swelling often 
extending down the legs; the animal suffers pain when made to move. This 
disease can be easily distinguished from hydrocele (water in the pouch) by 
the swelling being hard and hot and very tender, while in hydrocele it is soft 
and will tluctuate under the fingers and is not painful to the touch. Treat- 
ment: Give the pig two ounces epsom salts; follow this by giving ten grains 
of nitrate of potassium three times a day in a little water. If the appetite 
is good put it in its food. Bathe the part three or four times daily with hot 
water and after each bathing use a little of the following: acetate of lead 
half an ounce, tincture of arnica two ounces, water one quart. If matter 
should form, which can be known by the part becoming soft and pitting with 
the finger, th3n open it with the knife, squeeze out trie matter and wash it 
out with water, then inject a little of the following: Peroxide of hydrogen 
one ounce, water four ounces. Do this twice a day to heal it. If it will not 
heal it will be necessary to castrate the animal. 

HYDROCELE (WATER IN THE SCROTUM.) 

This derangement is sometimes the result of infiammation of the scrotum 
or by the walls of the scrotum being braised. Symptoms: The scrotum is 
swollen and will fluctuate under the Hngers and the testicles can be felt float- 
ing in the water. Treatment: If it is not interfering with the animal's 
health and not increasing in size it will be better left alone. Astringent 
medicines may be tried, such as tannic acid, twenty grains to the ounce of 
water. The proper treatment is to draw off the fluid with a hypodermic 
syringe, the nozzle of which is passed through a solution of carbolic acid. 
But this should be done only by a veterinarian. 

STERILITY. 

This derangement happens more commonly in the well bred animal, es- 
pecially in those that are ' forced" by overstimulating food. The animal gets 
into such a plethoric state that it sometimes blocks up the line tubes con- 
nected with the organs of generation. There are several other distinct causes: 
Disordered ovaries, obstructions to the fallopian tubes, a morbid condition of 
the uterus, hardening of the neck of the uterus. In the pig on account of 
not beiag able to make an examination by the hand it is very difficult to 
find the cause, and if we did it would likely be impossible to remove it. 
Sows should be kept in a good growing condition, but avoid having her over- 
fat. If the animal takes on fat very easily and will not breed give her two 
ounces epsom salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water at one dose; follow 
this by giving ten grains of iodide of potassium twice a day in her food for 
two weeks. By this treatment we mav succeed in absorbing materials which 
have blocked up some of the tubes. If the animal is weak and in poor con- 
dition give good food and twenty to forty drops of the tincture chloride of 
iron twice a day in its food. 



CHAPTER XL 

RHEUMATISM. 



This is a very common disease among pigs, especially young ones. It is 
impossible to say what causes rheumatism in the pig, as it is found under 



Diseases of the Pig. 43 



all conditions, where the pigs are well kept, where they are not. Symptoms: 
There is lameness in one or more legs, which is more or less notioeable ac- 
cording to the severity of the case. The joints often swell at the fetlocks. 
When the muscles are affected it may assume the foim of intiammatory rheu- 
matism and will cause an elevation of terr.perature and sickness. In such 
case the animal will be very stiff and refuse its food, its breathing will be 
fast and short, and its snout dry, and if the animal is made to move it may 
squeal with pain. When the legs are the parts affected it may shift from 
one leg to the other, but if the joints swell it will likely remain stationary 
until relieved. Treatment: Keep the animal in a comfortable place, and if 
it is in good flesh give it a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces, or two 
to three drops of croton oil in a spoonful of sweet oil, or it may be dropped 
in the mouth. Croton oil seems to be a useful medicine in rheumatism. 
Follow this by giving from ten to fifteen drops of oil of gaultheria to the 
adult pig three times a day in a little sweet oil. For pigs two to three 
months old give half this quantity. I have given iodide and ihe bicarbonate 
of potassium in ten grain doses two or three times a day in a little water 
with good results; but I have excellent results by giving the oil of gaul- 
theria. Rub the sore swollen joints with equal parts of oil of turpentine and 
sweet oil. In cases of inflammatory rheumatism, after giving the physic, give 
from three to five drops of the tincture of aconite every two hours for the 
first two days, then give the oil of gaultheria as directed. 

Sprains. — Young and old pigs are liable to sprains of the ligament at the 
top of the hoof and fetlock joint, which may be mistaken for rheumatism, as 
the symptoms resemble it; but as the treatment for rheumatism of the joints 
will answer the purpose for sprains it will make no difference if a mistake 
is made. 

SORE FEET. 

Pigs which are kept on hard slippery floors suffer from inflammation of 
the sensitive parts of their feet. I ha^e seen some very heavy hogs suffer 
from the same cause on hard dry ground. There are also cases of sores 
breaking out at the back of the hoof and between the toes. This is called 
"foul in the feet;" but I have not seen any cases of the contagious foot dis- 
ease in this country, and the one to be described is a local disease caused by 
some substance irritating the parts at the heel or between the toes. I have 
often seen it caused by the fine cinders of coal being scattered in the yard. 
This material gets in between the toes, causing irritation. Vesicles may form, 
burst, and discharge a yellow fluid, or matter may form. Unhealthy sores 
are the result of the irritation not being removed. Cinders from coal should 
never be put in yards where hogs, cattle or sheep are kept, as I have had a 
number of cases in cattle and sheep as well as the hog nearly ruined from 
this cause. Treatment: In cases where the feet are tender and no sores ap- 
pear, the animal should be kept for several hours on a bed of wet sand, as it 
is not practicable to poultice the feet of the hog and the wet sand will an- 
swer the purpose. If the animal is very lame a dose of epsom salts, fol- 
lowed by ten grains of nitrate of potassium two or three times a day in its 
food will cool the system and help to relieve the sore feet. In a few days 
the animal is usually cured, if sores appear between the toes or at the heels, 
clean the parts well with warm water and soap to remove all dirt. If there 
is any proud flesh, which can be known by its bluish appearance and spongy 
aspect, applv a little terchloride of antimony with a feather once. If it has 
not removed all the proud flesh apply again on the third day. To heal the 
sores use chloride of zinc one drachm, water one pint; dress once or twice a 
day according to the severity of the case. Keep the pigs in a clean dry place 
until the feet are well. 

W^OUNDS. 

These are of frequent occurrence in the pig, and if they are severe they 
will be difficult to heal, as it is impossible to prevent the animal from rubbing, 
thus irritating them. Pandages cannot be applied with any satisfaction as the 
animal will tear or rub them off. If the wound is caused by a sharp instru- 



44 Berkshire Year Book. 



ment and is lengthwise in the muscle, cast the hog and sew np the wound 
either with catgut or silk thread; but if it is a ragged wound or cut across the 
muscle, it is better not to close it. Dress the woiuids once or twice a day with 
permanganate of pottssium, ten grains to the ounce of water for fresh wounds; 
for old wounds, twenty grains to the ounce of water. When the wound is 
not deep and the weather is hot, rub on a little tar. This will keep away the 
flies and the wound will heal of its own accord. 

INJURIES. 

Broken bones in the pig will heal as fast as in any other animal, but it is 
impossible to confine the animal for treatment. In cases of simple fracture it 
will usually get well of itself; but, where the bone is splintered and the flesh 
lacerated, it is best to destroy the animal. The injury sometimes only bruises 
the flesh and it will right itself. In other cases there will be effusion of serum 
under the skin, causing a considerable soft, pufly swelling. This will have to 
be opened and the fluid pressed out and a Utile of the chloride of zinc lotion 
injected once a day for a few days. If this is not done the sack^will All up 
again.

PORK PRODUCTS. 



Slaughtering and Curing the Carcass of the Hog. 



Farmers should not only cure hams, bacon, etc., necessary for consump- 
tion on the farm, but an additional quantity ample to supply the home 
market. 

The merchants in nearly every small town and city in the United States 
purchase from distant wholesale markets as much pork, lard and other hog 
products as the farmers in such localities offer for sale. 

The expense of shipping the live hogs to market, the commission paid 
for their sale, the outlay for slaughter and cure of the carcass, the packers', 
jobbers' and retail dealers' profits, the money paid for return shipment of the 
dressed meat, and insurance on same, are, by the prevailing customs of trade, 
a loss to the farmer of many millions of dollars annually. 

The breeders of Berkshire swine will find much of interest concerning 
the slaughter and cure of pork products in the experience of the well known 
authorities quoted on the following pages, the study of which will doubtless 
p ompt many farmers that have sold their hogs on foot for shipment to dis- 
tant packing centers and subsequently purchased large quantities of high- 
priced hams, etc., to adopt the more profitable plan of preparing an ample 
supply of pork of their own feeding for home use and the local markets. 

The consumption of pork can be largely increased on each farm by feed- 
ing for a better quality of product and adopting the better methods of 
dressing, curing, smoking and preparing hams, bacon and pickle pork, speci- 
ified on the following pages. 

now TO CUT UP PORK. 

Split through the spine, cut off each half of head behind the ear and re- 
move the pieces in front of the shoulder for sausage. Take out leaf which 
lies around kidneys for lard, cut out the lean meat, ribs, etc., at the ham and 
shoulder and remove the loose pieces directly in front of the ham for lard. 
Cut off a narrow strip of the belly for sausage, and cut up the remainder, 
which is clear pork, into five or six strips of about equal width for salting 
down. Smoke the jowl with hams, and use the upper part of the head for 
boiling, baking or head cheese. Scorch the feet over the fire until the hoofs 
remove easily, scrape clean, place in hot water a few minutes, wash and scrape 
thoroughly and they are ready for cooking. All the fiabby pieces should be 
tried up for lard. Remove all fat from intestines, saving that which does not 
easily come off the larger intestines, for soap grease. The liver, heart, sweet- 
breads and kidneys are all used for boiling or frying, and the smaller intestines 
are sometimes iised for sausage cases. 

SALTING PORK. 

In the matter of keeping pork there are some items antecedent to salting 
that are worthy of attention. First, in dressing, the scurf should be entirely 
removed by most thorough scraping and applications of hot water. Ey this 
is meant not only the dark-colored, external scurf that readily slips off' on a 
good scald, leaving a smooth, white, shining surface; it is what composes 
this that should be removed, otherwise, when warm weather comes, it rises to 
the top of the brine, sours, and impairs the flavor of the meat. Two pigs may 
be dressed for market with a better appearance, while one can be properly 
prepared for salting and keeping for domestic use. The vessel (barrel or 
glazed crock) in which the meat is to be packed should be clean, free from any 
—4 



46 Berkshike Year Book. 



tra e of lime or suspicion of taint from previous use. If musty, invert over 
bai lug sulphur and fumigate. AVhen the meat is thoroughly cold (should never 
be Irozen), cut in desired form, rub with compound described below, pack 
closely on edge with rind toward the outside, and weight that it may not rise. 
Compound for rubbing the meat: One-fourth pound black pepper, finely 
ground, l^ pound saltpeter, pulverized; mix with salt, 8 to 10 pounds, sutti- 
cieut for the meat; rub thoroughly, scattering some upon the bottom of 'the 
vessel and upon each layer of meat; cover the meat with cold water. Meat 
thus prepared will keep some time, though not through hot weather. The 
lean will not harden as if more salt were added. If scum arise, skim and 
add more salt, putting it on top, thus feeding the brine whenever it thus in- 
dicates the need. Carefully keep the meat covered with brine, leaving none 
to float, adding water and salt as required. Thus treated the Berkshire gives 
a product that is unexcelled. If preferred, the brine may be added when the 
meat is packed by putting in water all the salt it will dissolve. If packed 
for market or not frequently examined, this is the better way; otherwise the 
former method is preferable. 

TO SALT I'ORK. 

Allow the meat to stand until the animal heat is entirely out of it; cut 
the sides into strips crosswise; cover the bottom of a barrel with salt, and 
pack in the pork closely edgewise, with rind next the barrel; cover each 
layer with salt, and proceed in like manner until all has been put in. Make 
a strong brine suflicient to cover the pork (soft water is best and there is no 
danger of getting it too salt), boil, skim and pour into the barrel while boil- 
ing hot. Have a board cut out round, a little smaller than the barrel, put 
over the pork, and on it place a weight heavy enough to keep it always un- 
der the brine. If at any time the brine froths or looks red, it must be 
turned off, scalded and returned while hot. Never put cold brine on old pork 
unless you wish to lose it. In salting down a new supply of pork, boil down 
the old brine, remove the scum and then pour it over the pork as directed 
above. 

PICKLE FOR IIAM. 

For lUO pounds: Good salt, 8 pounds; molasses m pints; saltpeter 4 
ounces: soda, 2 ounces. Put all in sullicieut water to cover the meat; boil 
and skim well; when cool put on the meat with heavy weight to keep the 
meat under the brine; leave it in 30 days; drain and remove to the smoke- 
house; smoke with corn cobs or green hickorv wood for ten days. 

L. A. REYNOLDS, Arcadia, Neb. 

PICKLE FOR HAMS. 

Rub and pack as above, and cover with a pickle of the following propor- 
tions: Six gallons of water, 8 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of sugar. Let meat 
lie three to five weeks, remove and soak twelve hours to equalize salt, drain 
and smoke to suit. Green hickory wood or cobs are desirable fuel. Complete 
smoking by burning one-half pound of sulphnr. This is to prevent meat 
from molding. Bag and hang in cool, dry place. 

TO CURE HAMS. 

To too pounds of meat: Nine pounds of salt, 3 pounds of sugar or mo- 
lasses, 3 ounces of saltpeter, 2 ounces of soda; boil and skim; add to meat 
when cool; add enough water before boiling to cover the meat. 

CimiNG HAMS. 

To every 100 pounds of ham, 8 pounds best pork salt, 2 ounces saltpeter, 
2 pounds brown sugar, l}4 ounces potash and 4 gallons water. Mix and pour 
over the hams after they have lain in tub two days, having been rubbed with 
fine salt and a little brown sugar when put in. Let them remain in this 
pickle six days, then let hang and dry a few days before smoking.

CURING HAMS. 

Hang up the hams a week or ten days, the longer the tenderer and bet- 
ter, if kept perfectly sweet; mix for each good-sized ham, 1 teacunful of salt, 
1 tablespoonful of molasses, 1 ounce of saltpeter. Lay the hams in a clean, 
dry tub; heat the mixture and rub well into the ham, especially around the 
bones and recesses; repeat the process once or twice, or until all the mixture 
is used; then let the hams lie two or three days, when they must be put for 
three weeks in brine strong enough to bear an egg; then soak eight hours in 
cold water; hang up to dry iu the kitchen or other convenient place for a 
week or more; smoke from three to five days, being careful not to heat the 
hams. Corn cobs and apple tree wood are good for smoking. The juices are 
better retained if smoked with the hoek down. Tie up carefully in bags for 
the summer. 

TO CURE HAMS AND BACON. 

When killed and cool, cut up, and begin immediately to salt them. Rub 
the outside of each ham with a teaspoonful of powdered saltpetre, and the 
inside with a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Having mixed together two 
pounds of brown sugar and salt, mix in the proportion of one pound and a 
half of sugar to a pint of salt, and rub the pork well with it. This quantity 
of sugar and salt will be sufficient for fifty pounds of meat. Have ready some 
large tubs, the bottom sprinkled with salt, and lay the meat in the tubs with 
the skin downward. Put plenty of salt between each layer of meat. After it 
has lain eight days, take it out and wipe off the salt and wash the tubs. Make 
a pickle of soft water, equal quantities of salt and molasses and a little salt- 
petre, allowing five ounces of saltpetre to two quarts of molasses and two 
quarts of salt, which is the proportion for fifty pounds of meat. The pickle 
must be strong enough to bear up an egg. Boil and skim it, and when it is 
cold, pour it over the meat, which must be turned frequently and basted with 
the pickle. The hams should remain in the pickle at least four weeks; the 
bacon three weeks. They should then be taken out and smoked. Having 
washed off the pickle, before you smoke the meat, bury it while wet, in a tub 
of bran. This will form a crust over it and prevent evaporation of the juices. 
Let the smoke-house be ready to receive the meat immediately. Take it out 
of the tub after it has lain half an hour and rub the bran evenly over it. 
Then hang it up to smoke with the small end downward. Tongues may be 
cured in the above manner. 

NEW WAY TO SMOKE HAMS. 

Smoke the barrel in which the hams are to be pickled by inverting it over 
a kettle containing a slow fire of hard wood for eight days (keeping water on 
the head to prevent shrinking). In this barrel pack the hams, and pour over 
them, after it has cooled, a brine made in the proportion of four gallons of 
water, eight pounds of salt, five pints of molasses and four ounces of salt- 
petre, boiled and skimmed in the usual manner. They will be cured in eight 
or nine days, and they may be kept in the pickle for a year without damage. 

TRYING LARD. 

Cut the fat into small pieces, put into a kettle, and pour in enough water 
to cover the bottom. Boil gently until the "scraps" settle, or until the water 
has all evaporated, stirring often to prevent burnine. Take off, strain in stone 
jars and set in a cool place. The quality of the fard is improved by sprink- 
ling over and slowly stirring in one tablespoonful of soda to every five gallons 
of lard just before removing from the fire. After adding soda the kettle must 
be removed from the stove, and watched closely and stirred constantly, as it 
foams rapidly, is very likely to run over, and it on stove, is likely to take 
fir*. The leaf should be tried by itself for the nicest cooking. That from the 
smaller intestines, and the fiabby pieces, not fi( or salting, should be thrown 
into lukpwarm water and allowed to stand for vventy four hours, and then 
should be tried by itself, and the lard set away where it will freeze, and by 
spring the strong taste will be gone. A teacup of water prevents burning 
while trying.

TO MAKE LARD. 

Take the leaf fat from the inside of a bacon hog, cut it small and put it 
in an iron kettle, which must be perfectly free from any musty taste; set it 
over a steady, moderate fire until nothing but scraps remain of the meat; the 
heat must be kept up, but gentle, that it may not burn the lard; spread a 
coarse cloth in a wire sieve, and strain the liquor into tin basins which will 
hold two or three quarts; squeeze all the fat from the scraps. When the lard 
in the pans is cold, press a piece of new muslin close upon it, trim it off on 
the edge of the pan, and keep it in a cool place. Or it may be kept in wooden 
kegs with close covers. Lard made with one-third as much beef suet as fat 
is supposed by many persons to keep better. 

HEAD CHEESE. 

Take the heads, tongues and feet of young, fresh piork, or any other pieces 
that are convenient. Having removed the skin, boil them until the meat is 
(juite tender and can easily be stripped from the bones. Then chop it very 
line, and season it with salt and pepper, and ground cloves if you choose, or 
sage leaves rubbed to a jiowder. Mix it all well with your hand. Put it into 
deej) pans with straight sides, and press it down hard and firm with a plate 
that will fit the pan, putting the under side of the plate next to the meat, and 
i)lacing a heavy weight on it. In two or three days turn it out ot the pan 
and cut it in thin slices. Use mustard and vinegar over it. 

SEASONING EOR SAI'SAGE. 

To 40 pounds of meat use 1 pound of salt, I4 pound of pepper, 2 ounces 
of sage; mix thoroughly and add to meat before chopping, as it can be done 
more easily than after chopping. My wife says these are first-class, and her 
opinion can't be beat. II. A. COOrEB, North Wolcott X. Y. 

SAUSAGE. 

Meat 32 pounds; J^ pint, 1 part summer savory, 2 parts sage: I cup sugar; 
}i pint salt; pepper to suit. B. L. SELDOX, LeBoy, N. Y. 

SAUSAGE. 

Twenty pounds of chopped meat, 8 ounces of salt, 2 ounces of pepper, 1 
ounce ot powdered sage, 1 teaspoonful of ginger. When cool, pack in pans, 
and first cover it thick with lard, then with paper. When cutting for use 
loosen a i)ortion of the paper and press it back again. Keep in a cool, drv 
l)lace. MBS. B. C. B. ' 

MOCK SAUSAGE. 

Soak dry bread in water. Take as much cold meat, chopped fine, as you 
have bread. Mix and season with salt, pepper and sage. Make into small 
cakes and fry. A. M. STEVENS. 

VIRGINIA SAUSAGE MEAT. 

Pick the sausage meat to get out all the pieces of bone and strings; wash 
it in hike warm water and lay on a table to drain; let it stand all night; take' 
off so^e of the fat from the backbone to mix with the lean. If you use "leaf 
fat,"" when you fry the sausage it will melt away to gravy and leave a little 
knot v>f lean, hard and dry, floating in a sea of melted grease. The fat must 
be taken oif before the chines are salted, and washed, skinned and put to 
drain with the lean. Next day chop it fine, picking out all the strings. When 
fine enough season it with salt, sage, black and red pepper to taste. Pack it 
in a close vessel. If you wish to stuff them, have some nicely cleaned chit- 
terlings kept in salt and water ten days or a fortnight. Stuff, hang on sticks 
and dry. A little smoke improves them; too much makes them bitter.

How to Cook and Serve Ham, Bacon and other Pork Products, by 
Practical Housekeepers. 



Pork enters more largely into the daily bill of fare of the American citi- 
zen than that of any other meat product, and the great increase from year to 
fea,r in the consumption of hams, bacon, etc., is the best evidence of the econ- 
)my and health resulting from the very general use of the same. 

The best methods of preparing for the table the appetizing and whole- 
some food made from the carcass of the hog deeply interests every house- 
ceeper in completing arrangements for the breakfast, dinner and supper. The 
jreat number of palatable dishes that can easily be prepared in every kitchen 
'rom a carcass of pork is known by comparatively few of the families that 
nake pork their principal meat diet throughout the year. 

In order to increase ttie consumption of j)ork and add to the number of 
lelicious preparations therefrom for the table the following recipes are present- 
id to the American housewife. 

It is only necessary to examine the many appetizing dishes suggested in 
he following recipes to confirm the general impressions of the completeness 
)f this compilation. 

IIEALTIIFUI. PORK. 

Pork is the staple food, as regards meat, of the great majority of Ameri- 
cans. It is more easily and cheaply produced than any other, the hog hav- 
ng less waste material in his makeup than any other domestic animal. Too 
nuch corn given to any animal will cause it to become feverish from indi- 
gestion. In that case its tlesh, too. will be hard to digest, and will therefore be 
mhealthful. The business of feeding to produce healthful meat is much bet- 
er understood than it used to be. We very seldom now hear of hogs fat- 
ened until their eyes are blinded by fat, and the animals can hardly be aroused 
rom their stupor long enough to take their feed. The true way to make 
weet, healthful pork, is to keep the animal growing from the time he is a pig. 
)o not aim to fatten it. Feed as much as possible with succulent foods and 
hose rather bulky in proDortion to their nutrition. In this way digestion will 
)e kei)t perfect, and any kind of grain fed will make all the pork that it is 
apable of making. This is a most important point in profitable feeding. If 
here is an attack of indigestion, not only is the quality of the meat injured, 
lut there is a waste of the food in the stomach until digestion is fully re- 
tored. I'nless a farmer manages to keep his stock in good appetite he can- 
lot feed at a profit, because loss of appetite necessarily implies that some food 
aten has contributed nothing but nutrition. There is no reason why hogs 
hould be troubled by poor digestion. The power of the pig to get nourish- 
iient out of all food given it is greater than that of any other animal. If 
dgs were never, even in fattening, kept on concentrated food, they ought al- 
i^ays have the perfect digestion with which the young pig nearly always be- 
ins life. We say nearly always, for it is one of the most serious facts in 
lig breeding that by feeding a breeding sow mainly on corn or other concen- 
rated food her pigs will be stunted even before their birth, and' if we may 
;se the word, predestined to runthood during their entire natural life, — Amer- 
can Cultivator.

PORK IS HEALTHY. 

If we appeal to the experience of mankind in support of the proposition, 
abundant proof will be found in the armies and navies of the world all along 
the lines of the world's history; and if we go to the mercantile and manufac- 
turing countries, the voice of experience will show that no meat is more free 
from disease germs than the salt pork and bacon; but it is on the farm and 
in the rural districts that the most undoubted testimony is found, for it is 
there that the family, including the women and children, feed mostly on si)are- 
ribs, backbones, jowls, shoulders and hams, either green, salt or smoked, and 
as the custom has been goior on for thousands of years with satisfactory re- 
sults, the plain, common s^n^e, robust country people can never have their 
faith in the healthfuluess of 'he hog shaken. Xow there is a wide difference 
between city killed and served pork and sausage and the country product. 
The good, pure, country leaf lard, highly seasoned sausage, sugar cured hams 
and bacon, have nothing in them to make people sick, and have never yet 
been produced in sufficiency to supply the demsind.— Farm Journal. 

CONSUMPTION OF PORK, 

"We can easily understand why the landed interests of Great Britain and 
the continent, their henchmen, the farmers and butchers, object to American 
pork; but it will be our own fault if the consumers do not find our pig pro- 
ducts eciual or superior to those obtained from any other country. "The exact 
data," says (Jharles H. Murray in his valuable annual of the provision trade 
of the world, "as to the consumption of hog products in the United States 
cannot be presented, but close calculation can be made, based on statistics in- 
dicating supply and exportation of product. Such information points to an 
average per capita of a rate of consumption reaching 55 to 57 pounds of meats 
in recent years, and about eight pounds of lard. This rate of consumption 
is not approached by any other country, and it is evident that no animal food 
product in general use can be shown to be more free from unwholesomeness." 
No better evidence is needed in this direction than that made in the war, 
when over two million of men almost lived on "sow belly," and miserable stuff 
at that. JOSEPH HARRIS. 

BAKED BACON. 

Cut in slices as you would to fry, lay in a baking pan and put in a hot 
oven. When cooked you have some nice flavoi-ed meat. 

MRS. M. A. PARK. 

BAKED PIG. 

Take a pig about six weeks old, nicely prepared, score in squares and rub 
lard over it, and make a dressing of two quarts of corn meal, salted as if for 
bread, and mix to a stiff bread with boiling water; make into pans and bake. 
After this is baked brown break it up and add to it one-fourth pound of but- 
ter, pepper to taste and thyme. Fill the pig till plump, sew it up and place 
it on its knees in the pan, which fill with as much water as will cook it. 
Baste it very frequently with the gravy, also two red pepper pods. Turn 
while baking same as turkey, and continue to baste till done. Some use tur- 
key dressing instead of above. 

BARBACUED PORK. 

Put a loin of pork, in a hot oven without water, sprinkle with flour, pep- 
per and salt, baste with butter, cook two or three hours, or until very brown. 
Pour into the gravy half a teacupful of walnut catsup. Serve with fried ap- 
ples. 

CRACKNELS. 

These can be had at the butcher's at a very low price. They are what is 
left from frying out lard. Put them into a pan with a little warm water ani 
some bread crumbs or cold corn bread broken fine. Season with pepper and 
salt. Fry till a nice brown and serve hot.

FRIED PORKSTEAKS. 

Fry like bee fst daks, with pepper and salt, or sprinkle with dry powdered 
sage if the sausage flavor is liked. 

FRIED SALT PORK. 

Cut in rather thin slices, and freshen by letting lie an hour or two in cold 
water, or milk and water, roll in flour and fry till crisp (if in a hurry pour 
boiling wdter on the slices, let stand a few minutes, drain and roll in flour 
and fry as before); drain oft' most of the grease from frying pan, stir in while 
hot one or two tablespoons of flour, about half a pint of new milk, a little 
pepper and salt, if not salt enough already from the meat; let boil and pour 
into gravy dish. This makes a nice white gravy when properly made. 

RAKED HAM. 

Most persons boil ham. It is much better baked, if baked right. Soak it 
for an hour in clean water and wipe it dry. ^Next spread it all over with thin 
batter, and put it into a deep dish, with sticks under it to keep it out of the 
gravy. When it is fully done take ott' the skin and batter crusted upon the 
flesh side, and set away to cool. It should bake from six to eight hours. 
After removing the skin, sprinkle over with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, some 
black pepper and powdered crackers. Put in a pan and return to the oven to 
brown; then take up and stick cloves through the fat, and dust with powdered 
cinnamon. 

ROILED HAM. 

Pour boiling water over it and let it stand until cool enough to wash, 
scrape clean (some have a coarse hair brush on purpose for cleaning ham), 
put in a thorou.ghly cleansed boiler wiih cold water enough to cover; bring to 
the boiling point and then place on the back part of the stove to simmer 
steadily for six or seven hoars, or till tend;"r when pierced with a fork (if the 
ham weighs twelve pounds); be careful to keep water at boiling point and not 
allow it to go much above it; turn the ham once or twice in the water. When 
done, take up and put into a baking pan to skin; dip the hands in cold water 
take the skin between the fingers and peel as you would an orange; set in a 
moderate oven, placing the lean part of the ham downward, and if you like, 
sift over it pounded or rolled crackers; bake one hour. The baking brings out 
a quantity of fat, leaving the meat much more delicate, and in warm weather 
it will keep in a dry cool place a long time; if there is a tendency to mold 
set it a little while into the oven again. Or, after the ham is boiled and peeled 
cover, with the white of a raw egg and sprinkle sugar or fine bread crumbs 
over it; or, cover with a regular cake icing, place in the oven and brown; or, 
quarter two onions, stick whole allspice or black pepper in the quarters, with 
a knife make slits in the outside of the ham in which put the onions, place 
in a dripping pan, lay parsely around and bake till nicely browned; or, after 
boiling and peeling, dust with sugar and pass a hot knife over it until it forms 
a caramel glaze and serve without baking. A still nicer way is to glaze with 
strong meat jelly or any savory jelly at hand, boiled down rapidly (taking 
great care to prevent burning) until it is like glue. Brush this jelly over the 
ham when it is cool and it makes an elegant dish. The nicest portion of a 
boiled ham may be served in slices, and the ragged parts and odds and ends 
may be chopped up fine for sandwiches, or by adding three eggs to one pint 
of chopped ham, a delicious omelet may be made. If the ham is very salt, it 
it should be in water over night. 

ROILED HAM. 

Pour boiling water over it, and when cool enough scrape and wash clean. 
Put in a boiler and cover with cold water; bring to the boiling point, then 
place on the back of the stove to boil gently for three or four hours, or till 
tender so as to stick a fork in it. Turn the ham once or twice in the water. 
When done take up and put into a baking pan to skin. Dip the hands in 
cold water, take the skin between the fingers and skin as yon would an orange. 
Set in a moderate oven and bake one hour, as this draws out the superfluous 



52 Bekkshire Year Book. 



fat, leaving the meat more delicate, and in warm weather it will keep in a 
cool i)lace a long time. Any tendency to mold may be removed by setting it 
in the oven awhile. To glaze a boiled ham, sprinkle with sugar and pass a 
hot knife over it, or brush it with the yolk of a well-beaten egg, sprinkle well 
with grated cracker or bread crumbs, and cover it with sweet cream; then put 
in the oven to brown. Tlie nicest portion of boiled ham serve in slices, and 
the ragged parts, odds and ends aie chop])ed up line for sandwiches, or by 
adding three eggs tt* one pint of chopped ham a delicious omelet may be made. 

BOILED HAM. 

After cleaning the ham well, place it in a large boiler and fill it with cold 
water. Let it boil slowly live or six hours, then take it out and put it into a 
dish to drain. While it is still hot, or when it is cool, remove the skin and 
place it in the oven to brown. IMix one teacupful of vinegar, one tablespoon- 
ful of black pepper, a little ground mustard, two or three tablespoonfuls of 
sugar, and baste the ham with it while it is roasting. 

HOXELESS HAM. 

Having soaked a well cured ham in tepid water over night, bojl it till 
perfectly tender, putting it on in warm water; take up in a wooden tray, let 
cool, remove bone carefully, press the ham again into shape, return to boiling 
liquor, remove pot from fire and let the ham remain in it till cold. Cut across 
and serve cold. 

HKOILKD HAM. 

Cut the ham in slices of medium thickness, place on a hot gridiron, and 
broil until the fat readily tlows out and the meat is slightly browned. Take 
from the gridiron with a knife and foi-k, drop into a pan of cold water, then 
return again to the gridiron, lieturn several times and the ham is done. Place 
in a hot platter, add a few lumps of butter and serve at once. If too fat, 
trim off a part. It is almost imi)Gssible to broil the fat part without burning, 
but this does not impair the taste. Pickled pork and breakfast bacon may be 
broiled in the same way. 

15UOILED HAM. 

Cut the slices thin, then pound like beefsteak; cook on a griddle over hot 
coals (it need not be cooked much); save the gravv and butter the meat when 
done. MRS. THOMAS TRUNDLE. 

DELICIOUS FRIED HAM. 

Place the slices in boiling water and cook till tender; put in frying pan 
and brown and dish on platter; fry some eggs by dripping gravy over them 
until done, instead of turning; take up carefully and lay them on the slices 
of ham. 

DEVILED HAM. 

Take lean, boiled ham and chop it very fine, season it well with black and 
red pepper and dry mustard, press it solid and slice thin. 

MRS. R. AV. MILLS. 

FRIED IIA.M. 

Lay the ham in the skillet, and pour boiling water over it to freshen it; 
let it boil about ten minutes, then pour the water off and fry in its own fat. 

HAM BALLS. 

Take half a cup of bread crumbs, and mix two esrgs well beaten; chop 
line some bits of cold boiled, and mix them all; make into balls and fry. 

HAM AND E(iGS. 

Cut the ham in pieces the size of a fried egg; fry it in its own fat, and 
when done break the number of eggs required in the' ham fat and fry them. 
\\'lien done lay each agg on a piece of the ham and serve. 



FAUMKKts' KlTCTEN, EtO. 53 



11AM AND ECUS LUNCH LOAF, 

Chop remnants of cold boiled ham, corned beef or salt pork; add crushed 
crackers, and from three to six eggs, according to the amount of your meat. 
Hake in a round baking powder box or empty spice box, and when cold it 
can be sliced for the table. MRS. ALICE FAR WELL. 

HAM PATTIES. 

One pint of ham, which has previously been cooked, mix with two pints 
of bread crumbs, wet with milk. Put the batter in gem-pans, break one egg 
over each, sprinkle the top thickly with cracker crumbs, and bake until 
browned over. 

IIAM TO A.ST. 

Chop the lean, cooked ham into small pieces, put in a pan with a little 
pepper, a lump of butter and two eggs well beaten. AVhen warmed through, 
spread it on hot, buttered toast. M. L. HAHN. 

IIOAV TO COOK PICKLED SIDE MEAT. 

Cut in slices required to fry, parboil to freshen, roll or sprinkle in Hour- 
fry until cooked through. ELIZAT3ETH KELSEY. Linn, III. 

PIG.S' FEET. 

Wash in hot water and scrape thoroughly with a sharp knife. Lay them 
in salt water all night to remove the blood. Put on to cook with enough cold 
water to cover, slightly salted. Cook from three to five hours, until the bones 
loosen. Take out the meat in a chopping bowl and chop medium tine. Strain 
the liquor in the pot in which they were boiled, and season with vinegar and 
pepper to taste; take out the meat into bowls or small crocks, and cover it 
with the juice, to which you have added more hot water, as it will bear dilut- 
ing. When cold, if not wanted for immediate use, pour melted lard over the 
top. If used right away, turn out of the bowls and cut down in slices half 
an inch thick. CHRISTIE IRAMXC;^. 

pigs' feet SOUSE. 

Cut off the horny parts of feet and toes, scrape, clean and wash thor- 
oughly; singe off the stray hairs, place in a kettle with plenty of water, boil, 
skim, pour off water and add fresh, and boil until the bones will pull out 
easily; do not bone, but pack in a stone jar with pepper and salt sprinkled 
between each layer; cover with good cider vinegar. When wanted for the 
table, take out a sufficient quantity, put in a hot skillet, add more vinegar, 
salt and pepper if needed, boil until thoroughly heated, stir in a smooth thick- 
ening of rtour and water, and boil until Hour is cooked; serve hot as a nice 
breakfast dish. Or, when the feet have boiled until perfectly tender, remove 
the bones and pack in a stone jar as above; slice down cold when wanted 
for use. Let the liquor in which the feet are boiled stand over night; in the 
morning remove the fat and prepare and preserve for use. 

PIGS'-IIEAD CHEESE. 

Having thoroughly cleaned a hog's or pig's head, split it in two, take out 
the eyes and the brain, clean the ears, throw scalding water over the head 
and ears, then scrape them well; when very clean put in a kettle with water 
to cover it. and set over a rather quick fire; skim it as any scum arises; 
when boiled so that the tlesh leaves the bones, take it from the water with a 
skimmer into a large wooden bowl or tray; then take out every particle of 
bone, chop the meat tine, season to taste with salt and pepper (a little pounded 
sage may be added), spread a cloth over the colander, put meat in, fold cloth 
closely over it, lay a weight on it so that it may press the whole surface 
equally (if it be lean use a heavy weight, if fat a lighter one); when cold 
take off the weight, remove the colander and ])lace in a crock. Some add 
vinegar in proportion of one j)int to a gallon crock. Clarify the fat from the 
cloth, colander and Ii(|nnr of the pot and use for frying.

THE BERKSHIRE HOG. 



There are thousands of farmers and swine breeders that have recently 
made their iirst investment in the Berkshire hog. The great majority of the 
new breeders referred to above have made a careful and intelligent investiga- 
tion of the merits of the Berkshire, and from the best of evidence have be- 
come firmly convinced of the incomparable excellencies of the breed. 

There are many new recruits to the JJerkshire army that have had little 
opportunity for study or observation of the good points so generally conceded 
this breed of hogs for more than a century. The latter class have had indif- 
ferent success with other breeds, and now enter upon the breeding of the 
Berkshire with the conddent expectation of obtaining more profitable and 
satisfactory results. 

The opinions of the leading authorities (juoted on the following pages 
will not only confirm the belief of the experienced breeder but convince the 
new breeder of the fact that the Jierkshire is the most prolific breeder, the 
best suckler, the most healthy and profitable hog to feed, and that the carcass 
is of the best quality. 

The Berkshire is the standard to which all the breeders of swine endeavor 
to attain in style, finish, breeding and feeding (lualities and excellence of 
carcass. 



OPINIONS OF EXPERIENCED BREEDERS. 



AVhen we consider all the numerous valuable (puilities of the Berkshire, 
the superiority of its fiesh. its great hardihood and ability to resist disease, the 
ease with which it fattens at an early age, and its fertility, we have no hesi- 
tation in giving our ])reference to the Berkshire so far as general farm pur- 
poses are concerned. 

The advantages or strong points of the Berkshire breed are these: The 
meat is the best and commands the highest price; the sows are very prolific 
and make the best and most attentive mothers. The Berkshires as a rule, 
although there are many exceptions to it, are heavily developed at the fore 
end, and you nearly always find with this breed a broad head, set closely on 
a deep, short and thick neck, the neck blending well with the shoulder, and 
the muscles of the shoulder again pass smoothly into those of the ribs. The 
ribs are deep and well sprung, qualities which always accompany constitution 
and vitality. For these reasons, chiefiy, we prefer the Berkshire to any other 
breed for general farm purposes; and the only breed which has ever tempted 
us seriously to change our mind in this matter is the little all-black Essex. 

PROFESSOR SKELTON. 

A word to those who may not be thoroughly acquainted with the Berk- 
shire hog. They are the oldost of any of the breeds, and have been pure for 
over one hundred years. Are a compact hog, of good size, superior quality 
and wonderful constitution; are always smooth and ready for the market at 
any age, and universally command the highest price in the market; are noted 
for their well marbled meat, and carry a large proportion of the best cuts of 
high-priced meats, viz., back and hams. A commission man at Chicago once 
said on selling for us a carload of prime barrows, weighing an average of 409 
pounds, that our hogs were the "best backed hogs" that came to the jards. 



The Berkshire IIog. o7 



The Berkshire cannot be excelled for crossing on the common or other hogs 
of the country, as he is a prepotent sire, and leaves the impress of his race 
on his get. A neighbor of ours once brought a Chester White sow and bred 
her to one of our Berkshire boars, and at farrowing time found to all ap- 
pearances as line a litter of Berkshires as could be desired. We think the 
Jierkshire is the best 'all round" hog for the purpose that can be found, and 
will convert grass and grain into more profit, and thrive in all climates bet- 
ter than any other breed, and that is why we breed them. 

A. J. LOVEJOY & SOX, RoscOE, III. 



The Berkshire is an English breed, improvement of which began about a 
century ago, and although having attained a standard of perfection which 
places them in the van, not only in the show ring, but also at the markets, 
the careful breeders will continue to advance them in quality and allow no 
deterioration Their excellent qualities have kept them in the lead, notwith- 
standing the several booms of other breefls. and many of them owe their good 
l)oints to the Berkshire. Jieing the oldest of the improved breeds of swiue, it 
is, therefore, the most impressive when used for the improvement of common 
stock. Their color is black, with white points, but in scalding, when being 
dressed for pork, this outer skin comes off, leaving the pork perfectly white. 
Among the many characteristics are a large quantity of lean meat when 
fattened; (piickness of growth, giving greater return for food than any other 
breed; also size at maturity, boars 500 to 800 pounds, sows 400 to 700 pounds; 
freedom from skin and other diseases; adapted for either warm or cold cli- 
mates; excellent for feeding on grass, yet easily kept in low enclosures, owing 
to their (luiet dispositions; their hams, shoulders and sides of bacon excel all 
other breeds. WILLIS A. SEW.VRI), JJidds Lake. X. ,1. 

After an experience of over eighteen years in breeding JJerkshires, and a 
number of years with that of other breeds, the Poland ('hina, etc., we can but 
say, "the Berkshire leads them all.'' 

M. K. PIIINE & SOX, OsKALOOSA, Iowa. 



HERKSIIIKE SWINE. 

They are a pure-bred hog, thus giving them the power to produce their 
like. The mothers are very prolific and great milkers. The pigs come strong 
and active, and feed at an early age. They are good grazers and feed ele- 
gantly after cattle. They are of a strong constitution, having vitality and 
great power of digestion. Their appearance is attractive, intelligent and 
proud, which indicates thorough breeding. They cross with all other breeds, 
perpetuating their vitality and quality. The half and three-fourths blood are 
much the type of the pure breed. 

IIRI) CROSS STOCK FAPtM, A rsTiN, Texas. 

Berkshires have large bones, cajjalile of carrying great weight. My hogs 
all have great length, deep bodies, and weigh 'at maturity, when made fat, 
from 450 to 750 pounds. They are good feeders and are easily fattened at 
any age; are of qiiiet disposition, very prolific and good mothers. 

:mKS. T. a. DYCHES, ORANCiER, Texas. 

THE I5EKKSI1IRE. 

The Berkshire hog may very properly be regarded as the standard hog of 
to-day. Other breeds strive to equal the Berkshire in the most valuable parts. 
In fact, many of the different breeds have had in their early history intro- 
duced more or less of Berkshire blood into them. These same breeds are the 
strongest competitors of the Berkshire to-day. The Berkshire traces his pedi- 
gree back further, perhaps, than any known breed of swine, lie is the purest

bred, and can be relied on to reproduce himself— if a pure bred pedigreed 
pig— every time. Of course, it is meant that he be used on high grade or 
thoroughbred sows. The Berkshire cross on other breeds always improves. 
It will im])rove any breed of swine. They are prolific, and none are more so. 
The sows have a reputation of raising all, or nearly all. of their litters. The 
litters are strong and growthy. and for this reason Berkshire sows raise a larger 
per cent, of their litters than "the Poland Chma and some other breeds. From 
ten or twelve Berkshire hogs 100 pigs may be expected. It takes almost twice 
that number of Poland sows to raise that many pigs. We know just what 
we are talking about. We have watched this closely. The next great point 
in hog breeding is maturity and size. This is one great reason why we handle 
and breed the Berkshire. If we did not regard them as the best breed of 
swine Ave would not be breeding them. There cannot be any question of their 
making as rapid growth as any breed— pigs 100 pounds at 100 days. Shoats at 
nine and ten months old weigh from 200 to 300 pounds, as farmers generally 
raise pigs. On grass, and especially clover, the Berkshire cannot be excelled. 
He is the best grazer of any bree*d. In the west, where many hogs have to 
follow cattle, the Berkshire proves to be the most satisfactory, because of his 
great activity. Then he is the best hog to market. Strong bone, active and 
able to take care of himself. 

JOHX B. THOMPSON, Plattsburci, Mo. 



For the purpose of improving the common swine of the country, no other 
hog can pe used to better advantage or with greater certainty of good results 
than the Berkshire. Having descended from so long a line of pure-bred an- 
cestors, he possesses in an unrivaled degree the power to stamp upon his 
progeny his own excellence of form and feeding capacity, as well as vigor of 
constitution, which includes ability to resist the encroachments of disease. 
Hence he is in almost constant use for the improvement of common hogs. 

The improved of Berkshires of the present day are a well defined breed, 
possessing in an eminent degree definite and valuable qualities and may be 
described as follows: Body color, black with smooth, i)liable, plum colored 
skin; hair rather fine, soft and thick; feet and tip of tail white with dash of 
white on face, and not unfrequently the nose white, as also some white on 
jowl; forehead and face broad, the latter dished, with eyes rather large and 
"very clear, and snout short; ears of medium size, thin and very soft and 
carried rather upright; neck short, broad on top, with jowl large and full; 
shoulders broad on top and deep through the chest; back broad, sides deep 
and nearly straight on bottom line; hams large, reaching well forward on 
back and down on hock, well rounded and deep through, causing the legs to 
stand well apart; these, as well as the fore legs, short and strong, and standing 
well on toes; tail tapering and rather fine and set well up. In regard to form, 
a modern well-bred Berkshire in good condition is symmetrical throughout, 
attractive in appearance and recognized at once as an animal of more than 
ordinary worth. 

^ BERKSHIRE BULLETIN. 

QUICK FEEDERS. 

W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Neb., is not only a good breeder of Berkshires 
of extra quality, but a very successful breeder of fat barrows for the market. 
Mr Spicer gives the following data in reference to a feeding experiment with 
the Berkshire sow named Number Seven 11055, of the well-known Romford 
family. He writes: "She had been fed and shown at the fall fairs of that 
year (1888). On October 7 she was weighed about 4 p. m., after having all the 
soaked shelled corn she would eat at noon, weighing 632 pounds. She was 
then put in a small open shed and fed cornmeal soaked in water from one 
feed to the next, generally using the dishwater from the house. She was fed 
three times per day all she would eat. She had a feed of pumpkins two or 
three times that week. She was fed at noon on October 14, and about 4 p. m. 
that day she was taken out of the shed and weighed 678 pounds— gained 46 



I'he Berkshire Itoo. 59 



pounds in seven days. The feed she ate was not weighed, but she had been 
fed from one barrel. I weighed the barrel and what was in it and then filled 
it as near as could like it was before. I then weighed it and found I had 
put in ninety pounds of meal. In the fall of 1890 I fed Homford IT. 15791 
(American Berkshire Record). In this test I wished to see how many pounds 
of cornmeal were required to produce a pound of gain, so the sow was care- 
fully prepared and placed on full feed, the weighing being done in the even- 
ing each time just before she was fed. She was fed all she would eat at noon 
each time before being weighed. She was kept in a yard 32 feet square, with 
a good house in it. On Sei)tember HO she weighed 491 pounds, and on Octo- 
ber 7 she weighed 525 i)ounds, having gained 34 pounds in seven days. She 
ate 97 pounds of cornmeal and matter. The meal was soaked six hours. 

BERKSHIRE (QUALITIES. 

Prominent among the good qualities that make Berkshires highly es- 
teemed may be mentioned these: 

First— Great muscular power and vitality, which render them less liable 
to accident and disease than any others. 

Second — Activity, combined with strong digestive and assimilating powers, 
hence returning a maximum quantity of flesh and fat for food consumed. 

Third— The sows are unsurpassed for prolificacy and as careful nurses and 
good sucklers. 

Fourth —Their pigs are strong and active and vigorous at birth, and con- 
sequently less liable to the mishai)s so common to them when very young. 

Fifth— They can be fattened for market at any age, and yet. if desirable 
fed to any reasonable weight, from six hundred to in some instances more 
than one thousand pounds. 

Sixth — Their fiesh is of the highest quality of pork and quite as marbled 
as that of any other breed, and much more so than that of several others. 

Seventh — Power of the boar to transmit the valuable qualities of the 
breed to his progeny, when crossed with others. — F. D. Coburn, Columbian 
Exposition Report.

PACKERS LIKE BERKSHIRES. 



Irwin Allen & Co., a leading live stock commission Arm of Kansas City, 
write: "As a general thing the packers like the Berkshire hogs the best. 

MOST DESIRABLE HOG. 

John D Dobyns & Co., live stock commission merchants, of Kansas City, 
Mo ' write-' "At present the most desirable hog with the packers is the 
small breed of Berkshires, which is between a bacon and a lard hog. 

BETTER THAN OTHER BREEDS. 

Cramer Crowley & Co., live stock commission merchants, of Kansas City, 
write that packers "prefer a light, compactly bviilt hog to one that is tall and 
rangy, and for this reason like the Berkshire as well if not better than any 
other breed." 

BERKSHIRES MATURE EARLY. 

D G. Paxson, live stock commission merchant, of Kansas City,' writes: 
"You are breeding the right class of Berkshires. 

BERKSHIRES SELL HIGHER. 

They mature quicker and sell higher than any other class. I have han- 
dled hogs for twenty-one years and know them to be the best sellers." 

FEEDERS BEST HOG. 

The American Live Stock Commission Company, of Kansas City, write: 
"We think the Berkshires are the best to raise, as they mature early and will 
sell well anywhere. 

BERKSHIRES BEST SELLERS. 

Fish, Keck & Co., live stock commission merchants, of Kansas City, 
write: "The Berkshire is the best selling hog on the market," 

BERKSHIRE HA:\[ THE BEST. 

Armour & Co., of Chicago and Kansas City, the most extensive pork 
packers in the world, write: "The pure Berkshire is much preferable to the 
pure Poland China, as the Berkshire makes the best weight ham and 
shoulder." 

MORE LEAN MEAT IN BERKSHIRE. 

A. W. Gillett. live stock commission merchant, of Kansas City, writes: 
"In answer to your inquiry, will say that the Beikshires are the most desira- 
ble hog. Many breeders have the Poland China bred down until they are 
pretty fine by "crossing them repeatedly with the Berkshire. For the European 
market fat ham and fat bacon are objectionable. There is more lean mixed 
with the bacon in a Berkshire than the Poland China, and the Berkshire 
carries more lean meat in the ham than any other hog, 

BEST SHIPPERS. 

Have been buying and shipping hogs in large quantities for the last 
twenty years, and find that none of the improved breeds are as good shippers 
as the Berkshires. 

BEST HOG RAISED. 

Before I commenced shipping, made a specialty of breeding. Have bred 
the Poland China, Chester "White and Suffolk, and can say in all candor that 
the Berkshire is the best hog raised," 



The Berkshire Leads. 63 



NET MORE PORK. 



James Stephens & Co., live stock commission merchants of Kansas City, 
write: "In answer would say the Berkshires are preferred. They net 
more pork per hundred." 



BERKSIIIRES SELL HIGHER. 



Joseph Lancaster, an extensive hog buyer for the packing company at 
St. Joseph, Mo., writes: "The Berkshire is the hog for all purposes. 



EARLY MATURITY. 



He is ready for the market younger, will sell higher than any other hog. 
and when given age and care will make heavy weights and choice quality^ 
and will sell from 10 to 15 cents per hundred more on all markets than the 
Poland China. I do not think you can do better than breed the Berkshireg." 

MORE BERKSHIRES THE BETTER. 

W. F. Davis, a leading live stock commission merchant of St. Joseph, Mo., 
writes: "I have never heard of a hog buyer objecting to a lot of hogs because 
they had Berkshire blood in them, and the more of the Berkshire blood they 
had the better they liked them, both in shippers and killers, and will in- 
variably pay more for them. 

ARMOUR PREFERS BERKSHIRES. 

A. E. Beggs, the well-known hog buyer for the Armour Packing Com- 
pany, writes: "1 always prefer the Berkshire breed of hogs. Am satisfied 
from my experience in feeding hogs that 

MORE PORK TO BUSHEL, 

more pounds of pork can be made with the same amount of corn fed to 
Berkshires than to any other breed. They (Berkshires) are better on their 
feet, less damaged hams, fewer cripples in shipping, making nicer meat, less 
jowl, less weight in head and feet. Always prefer them to any other breed 
if equally fat. 

BERKSHIRES OUTSELL. 

During the winter packing they usually sell from 5 to 10 cents higher 
than Poland Chinas. In summer they (Berkshires) outsell all competitors." 



STICK TO BBRKSMIRBS. 

No kind of improved stock has paid a more certain and satisfactory 
investment for a term of years than the Berkshire hog, which is to-day the 
most staple article on the farm. 

Hon. N. H. Gentry has been engaged in the breeding of Berkshires for 
more than a quarter of a century, and has built up a trade that now reaches 
between $9,(X)0 and .$10,000 a year. He writes as follows: "My efforts in breed- 
ing Berkshires have not been spasmodic, as with some who take great interest 
when prices are high and lose it again as soon as prices are reduced. I have 
watched my Berkshires and feed them with as much care and thought in 
times of depression as in times of good prices, believmg that the only way to 
succeed. It is easy to throw away in one year, by poor care, poor feed and 
degeneration all that can be gained by hard work in a half dozen or more 
years. 

"I have been breeding pure Berkshires for 25 years, and my family bred 
them here many years before that, and while I have bred no other kind, I 
have seen at our annual shows the best specimens produced of the dittertnt 
breeds. My faith in the Berkshire is as lirm as it ever was, backed by the 
reality that 1 have never seen the time that I could not sell good ones at as 
high prices as were being realized for animals of any breed. I do believe the 
large Berkshire has more good qualities and more friends throughout the 
country than any other hog.''

HOG CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. 



BY D. E. SALMON, D. V. M., CHIEF BUREAU OF ANIMAI, INDUSTRY. PUBLISHED BY 
AUTHORITY SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE. 



INTRODUCTORY, 



The annual losses from hog cholera in the United States are unquestion- 
ably very heavy, for, although all diseases of swine are called cholera by 
people not familiar with them, scientific investigation has contirmed the opin- 
ion of our farmers that we have a widespread and destructive plague to which 
the term hog cholera may be api)ropriately applied. The researches of the 
Bureau of Animal Industry, conducted in the most thorough and systematic 
manner and with the aid of all the appliances of modern science, have shown 
that there is another disease, called swine plague, which api)ears to be almost 
as common and fatal as hog cholera. 

These two diseases resemble each other very closely in their symptoms, 
and it requires an examination of the internal organs after the animal's 
death, and in many cases a microscopical study, to clearly distinguish between 
them. Fortunately, we are able to formulate methods for the i)revention, cure 
and eradication of these diseases which may be a])plied with the same success 
to both. Hog cholera and swine plague are not only similar in symptoms, 
but in their effect upon the bodies of the affected animals. They resemble 
each other in that both are caused by bacteria: they must be combatted by 
measures which will prevent exposure to these bacteria or destroy them after 
they have been introduced upon the premises, and the sick animals must be 
treated by remedies which will reduce the fever, stop the multiplication of 
the germs, and assist the affected oj-gatis in resuming their normal functions. 

The difficulty of distinguishing between the two diseases is, therefore, of 
no great consequence in the i)ractical work of controlling them. It is im- 
portant to know that one or the other of these maladies is present, because 
this knowledge leads at once to the adoption of the measures ap[)licable to 
the treatment of infectious diseases. Knowing that we have either hog 
cholera or swine plague to deal with, we are safe in carrying into effect the 
treatment recommended in this bulletin, because the agents which destroy one 
of these germs will generally destroy the other. 

Thf re are other infectious diseases which sometimes attack hogs, but they 
have either not been introduced into this country or have never approached 
in their destructive character the two diseases named. The erysipelas of the 
continent of Europe appears to be the most fatal of the swine diseases in the 
countries where it is known. It has, however, never been recognized in 
America and probably has never been introduced on this continent. A few 
years ago it was proposed by enthusiastic though reckless investigators to in- 
troduce the virus of erysipelas as a vaccine for the prevention of hog cholera. 
The investigations of the Bureau show^ed, however, that the diseases were not 
similar; that hog cholera could not be prevented by the vaccine of erysipelas; 
and that the only effect of the proposed measure would be the introduction 
of a new plagrue, probably as destructive as the dreaded hog cholera. 

This incident is referred to because it is one of the clearest illustrations 
we could have of the value of the scientilic investigations conducted by the 
Government and the necessity of an othcial institution in this country com- 
petent to give advice on such important questions. These diseases c^n only 
be manasred in the light of a thorough knowledge of their nature and char- 
acters; otherwise, the chances are that efforts for their suppression will lead 
to harm rather than to beneficial results. 



Hog Cholera and Swine Plague. 65 



There is a disease known as anthrax which may attack all species of 
warm-blooded animals and sometimes aft'ects the hogs in limited areas of this 
country. This disease does not spread from farm to farm with the rapidity 
nor to anything like the distance that is common with hog cholera. When 
it exists, cattle and sheep, and often horses, are also aifected; and the hogs 
usually contract it from eating the carcasses of animals that have died with 
it. Anthrax is confined to certain regions of the country, and is seen in those 
regions year after year. It is not a common disease with hogs. 

These are about the only diseases liable to be mistaken for hog cholera 
and swine plague, and as one of them has never been seen in this country, 
and as the other is infrequent and more often affects other species of animals, 
it is plain that any contagious disease confined to swine which breaks out in 
this coimtry is in all probability either hog cholera or swine plague. 

GENERAL CHARACTERS. 

Hog cholera and swine plague are both very fatal and destructiYe. They 
affect hogs in all parts of the IJnited States, and cause heavy losses, which 
have been estimated to reach from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000 annually. 

Owing to the resemblance in the features of the two diseases and the 
impossibility of distinguishing between them except by scientific investiga- 
tion, we can not say what proportion of this loss should be ascribed to one 
disease and what to the other. Both diseases are known to be common, and 
both spread by infection. 

Hog cholera is particularly fatal to young pigs, and often attacks them 
when the old hogs escape. The older animals have a greater power of resis- 
tance to the virus, and this power, which is also known as immunity, is in- 
creased when hogs have been exposed and only so slightly infected that they 
have recovered after an illness of some duration, or without showing any 
evident symptoms of the disease. In other words, if hog cholera breaks out 
among a herd of swine and is checked and apparently eradicated by medical 
treatment, the hogs that are saved are capable of resisting the contagion on 
the premises, while purchased hogs that have not been exposed will, when 
put with the others, contract the disease and die. This shows that the virus 
has remained upon the premises and the hogs have been saved not by the 
destruction of the contagion, but by keeping the infected hogs alive until they 
became immune. This is an important fact, and one which should be kept 
constantly in mind in applying measures of prevention. 

The virus of hog cholera is more tenacious, more resisting to the condi- 
tions which affect the vitality of bacteria than that of swine plague, and it 
is also more easily spread and communicated to healthy animals. Swine con- 
tract hog cholera by taking virus into the body with the food or drink, by in- 
hailing it wuth the air, and less frequently by its gaining entrance through 
the surface of a fresh wound. On the other hand, the virus of swine plague 
is generally, if not always, taken into the lungs with the inhaled air. 

The time that elapses between infection and the appearance of the first 
symptoms of illness, known as the period of incubation, varies from four to 
twenty days. During this period the germs are multiplying slowly and are 
gradually overcoming the vital powers of the animal by means of poisonous 
substances which they produce as the result of their growth. 

SYMPTOMS. 

The symptoms of serious diseases of swine are not as characteristic as 
with the larger animals. In the most acute and most severe cases the ani- 
mals die very suddenly, either before sickness has been observed or after they 
have been ill but a few hours. Such cases are seen most frequently when 
the disease first appears in a herd. In the greater number of cases the prog- 
ress of the malady is slower, and there is consequently a much better oppor- 
tunity to observe the symptoms. There is first seen the signs of fever, shiv- 
ering, unwillingness to move, more or less loss of appetite, elevation of tem- 
perature which may reach 106° to 107'^ F.; the animals appear stupid and 
dull, and have a tendency to hide in the litter or bedding and remain covered 
by it. Thejbowels may be normal or constipated at the beginning of the at- 
tack, but later there is generally a liquid and fetid diarrhea, abundant, ex- 



66 Berkshike Year Book, 



hausting, and persisting to the end. The eyes are at first congested and 
watery, but soon the secretion thickens, becomes yellowish, accumulates in 
the angles, and gums the lids together. The breathing is more rapid than 
usual and may be oppressed and labored ia the later stages. There is a 
cough, which, however, is not very frequent, and generally heard when the 
animals are driven from their bed. It may be a single, dry cough, or it may 
be paroxysmal. The skin is often congested and red over the abdomen, inner 
surface of limbs, under surface of the neck, and on the ears. The color 
varies from a pinkish red to dark red or purple. An eruption is sometimes 
seen, which leaves crusts or scabs of various sizes over the skin. There is 
rapid loss of tlesh, the animal grows weak, stands with arched back and the 
abdomen drawn up, and walks with a tottering, uncertain gait. There is less 
and less inclination or ability to move, and the weakness and exhaustion 
increase until death results. 

The symptoms of swine plague in many cases are not noticeably different 
from those of hog cholera. Frequently, however, the lungs are extensively 
inflamed in swine plague, and in that condition the breathing is more op- 
pressed and labored, and the cough more frequent and painful. 

The course of these diseases varies from one or two days to two or 
three weeks. 

appearances on post-mortem examination. 

The germs of hog cholera have a habit of collecting or growing in clumps 
in the blood vessels, which leads to a plugging of the smaller vessels, with 
frequent rupture and escape of blood. This causes red spots where the blood 
leaves the vessels and collects. in the solid tissues. These spots are var- 
iously referred to as petechite, ecchymoses, hemorrhages, and extravasations 
of blood. They are common ir hog cholera for the reasons given. In swine 
plague the bacteria are evenly diffused through the blood, never form plugs, 
and therefore hemorrhages from this cause are not seen. 

In the most acute forms of hog cholera the changes seen in the various 
organs consist principally of these red spots caused by hemorrhages of greater 
or less extent. i 

The spleen is generally enlarged to from two to four times its normal 
size, is soft, and engorged with blood. 

The blood extravasations are frequent in the lymphatic glands; beneath 
the serous membranes of the thorax and abdomen, and particularly along the 
intestines; on the surface and in the substance of the lungs and kidneys; on 
the mucous surface of the stomach and intestines; and in the connective' tissue 
beneath the skin. The contents of the intestines are sometimes covered with 
clotted blood. 

The diseases of Europe which appear very closely related to our swine 
plague {seh/veinesenchf, wildsenefie) also have a hemorrhasic form, but this 
has not been observed in An. erica, althougli hemorihagic intiammation of the 
stomach and intestines has been seen in swine plague. Cases of s vine plague 
with external swellings caused by an infiltration of yellow lymph in the sub- 
cutaneous connective tissue, generally of the neck, have been seen, but are 
rare in this country. 

The subacute and chronic forms of hog cholera and swine plague are more 
common. In this form of hog cholera the principal changes are found in the 
large intestine and consist of ulcers which appear as circular, slightly pro- 
jecting: masses varying in color from yellowish to black. Occasionally these 
ulcers are slightly depressed and uneven in outline. AVhen cut across, they 
are found to consist of a firm, solid growth extending nearly through the in 
testinal wall. They are most frequent in the csecum, upper half of the colon, 
and on the ileo-ca^cal valve. 

In the chronic form of the disease the spleen is rarely enlarged; the 
lymphatic elands of the affected intestine are enlarged and tough. In the 
more accurate cases lung lesions may be found, varying from collapse and 
oedema of the lung tissue to bronco ineumonia. 

In swine plague the lungs are often found inflamed, and to contain large 
numbers of small points, which may be made out by loss of color, where the 
life of the tissue has been destroyed (necrotic foci). There may be also found 
in the lungs large cheese-like masses from 1}4 to 2 inches in diameter. In- 



Hog Cholera and Swine Plague. 67 



rtammation of the serous membranes is very common in swine plague, and 
this may be found affecting the pleura, dericardium, and peritoneum, accom- 
panied with fibrinous, infiammatory deposits on the surface of these mem- 
branes. There may be congestion of the mucous membrane of the intestines, 
particularly of the large intestine; or the disease in this region may be more 
intense and led to a croupous intlammation with the formation of a fibrinous 
exudative deposit on the surface. 

In hog cholera the first effect of the disease is believed to be upon the 
intestines, with secondary invasion of the lungs. In swine plague the first 
effect IS believed to be upon the lungs, and the invasion of the intestines 
a subsequent process. 

Briefly reviewing these changes, we find that the most characteristic 
lesions of hog cholera consists of: 

(1) Hemorrhages, particularly in the subcutaneous, submucous, and sub- 
serous connective tissue; in the lymphatic glands, and in the various organs 
of the body. 

(2) I^lcerations of the large intestines. 

(3) Collapse of lung tissue, and, less frequently, broncho-pneumonia. 
The most characteristic lesions of swine plague are: 

(1) Infiammation of lungs; numerous small necrotic points in these organs 
or a few larger cheesy masses. 

(2) Infiammation of serous membranes with fibrinous deposits. 

(3) Congestion of mucous membrane of intestine, or inflammation of the 
same with fibrinous deposits. 

Xotwithstanding this clear difference in typical cases, there are many, 
outbreaks where it is ditticult to make a diagnosis even after post-mortem 
examination, because both diseases may be affecting the same animal at the 
same time, or the changes may resemble both diseases without being very 
characteristic of either. In such cases it is only by microscopic examination 
and cultivation of the germs that a reliable diagnosis can be made. 

THE CAUSE OF THESE DISEASES. 

Both hog cholera and swine pl-ague are caused by bacteria, which have 
now been so carefully studied that they may be easily identified by persons 
accustomed to bacteriological researches. The hog cholera germs are slightly 
larger and more elongated than those of the swine plague; they are provided 
with fiagella, or long thread-like appendages, which enable them to move 
rapidly in liquids; while the swine plague germs have no such organs, and 
are unable to move except as they are carried by the liquid in which they fioat. 

Hog cholera bacteria, when inoculated in minute doses, are fatal to mice, 
rabbits, and guinea pigs, and in large doses may kill pigeons. Swine plague 
germs are fatal to these animals and also to fowls. 

Hog cholera may be produced experimentally (1) by exposing well hogs to 
diseased ones in the same pens; (2) by feeding the internal organs of diseased 
carcasses or cultures of the germs; (3) by hypodermic injection of cultures of 
the germs in doses of one-half to 1 cc. or greater. 

Swine plague may be produced experimentally (1) by cohabitation; (2) by 
injecting cultures of the germs into the lung tissue. 

In some outbreaks the swine plague germs may produce the disease if they 
are injected hypodermically, but as a rule the swine plague of this country 
can not be communicated in that way. Cultures of the bacteria of swine 
plague have been fed to hogs, and have been sprayed into the air which they 
were breathing, without causing the disease. 

Both diseases are produced by injecting cultures of their respective germs 
directly into the blood vessels. 

From the results of experiments with these diseases it has been concluded 
that the germs of hog cholera find their way into the bodies of swine prin- 
cipally with the food and drink and with the inspired air; while those of 
swine plague are taken almost entirely with the air, or, at least, they almost 
invariably gain entrance through the lungs. 

Hog cholera germs are very hardy and vigorous. They are able to multiply 
and live for a long time in the water of ponds and streams; they may live 
in the soil for at least three months, and in accumulations of straw and litter 



68 Berkshire Year Book. 



for a much longer time; they withstand drying and other adverse conditions 
in a remarkable manner. 

The swine plague germs, on the contrary, are very delicate and easily 
destroyed. They soon perish in water or by drying; the temperature for their 
growth must be more constant and every condition of life more favorable 
than is required for the hog cholera germs. The swine plague germs are 
widely distributed in nature and are probably present in all herds of swine, 
but they are not deadly to these animals except when their virulence has 
been increased or the resistance of the animals diminished by some unusual 
conditions. The hog cholera germs, on the contrary, are not usually present 
and must be introduced from infected herds before the disease can be de- 
veloped. The swine plague germs may acquire sufficient virulence, by en- 
countering proper conditions on one farm, to spread to adjoining farms in the 
same manner as hog cholera. There are, hence, practically the same condi- 
tions to guard against in the prevention of the two diseases. 

DIAGNOSIS. 

The first question that occurs to the owner of swine when disease ap- 
pears among his animals is. What is the disease with Avhich they are aft'ectedV 
It is important to briefly consider in this place the nature of the evidence 
upon which this question is to be answered. 

If several animals are aftecttd at once with the symptoms already enu- 
merated, and if the same disease has been affecting the hogs on neighboring 
farms, we may decide that one or both of the diseases in question are pres- 
ent, since no other epizootic disease has been recognized in this country. 

In anthrax districts there may be occasional small outbreaks of that 
disease, in which there is great inflammation and swelling of the tongue 
(glossanthrax), or of the throat (anthrax angina), or simply a fever with no 
local swellings. If the disease is anthrax, or other species of animals, horses, 
cattle and sheep, will also be affected. 

If, on examining the carcass after death, projecting button-Jike ulcers are 
found in the large intestines, we know that hog cholera is present. It must 
be remembered, however, that these ulcers are not found in the most acute 
cases, but only in the subacute or chronic form of the disease where life is 
prolonged a sufficient time for them to form. 

If there is inflammation of the lungs and particularly if cheese-like 
masses are found in the substance of these organs, the disease is probably 
swine plague. 

Small blood spots in the tissues or scattered over the internal organs in- 
dicate hog cholera, while inflammation of the serous membranes indicates 
swine plague. 

A bacteriological examination is the final test, but neither this nor in- 
oculation experiments are available to the farmer, for whose use this bulletin 
is prepared. 

PROGNOSIS. 

The losses which result from outbreaks of hog cholera and swine plague 
depend partly upon the condition of the hogs — that is, upon their suscepti- 
bility to the disease— and partly upon the virulence of the contagion in the 
particular outbreak. If the animals are very susceptible and the contagion 
very virulent, the loss even in large herds may reach 90 to 95 or even 100 per 
cent in those cases where the disease is allowed to run its course. ]n milder 
outbreaks or with animals more capable of resisting the contagion the losses 
vary from 20 to 60 per cent. Toward the end of an outbreak a larger propor- 
tion of animals will recover than at the beginning. A portion of those re- 
covering will fatten, but others remain lean, stunted in their growth, or never 
become really healthy animals. 

THE TREATMENT OF HOG CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. 

Can hog cholera be cured V and, if so, what remedy will restore the 
diseased animals to health? These are the first questions asked by the swine- 
grower, and to his mind this should be the objective point of all investiga- 
tions. With all diseases of this class, however, prevention is cheaper and in 



HOO CHOLKItA AND SWINE PlAOUE, 69 



every way more satisfactory than medical treatment. The great aim of the 
(ioverruncnt and the farmers should \>(% therefore, to prevent the Kf^read of 
itit«M;tiouH (lisf^aseK. JOvery swine- j^rower should use the utmost precautions 
to prevent the introduction oi these plagues into his herd, in spite of such 
preventive measures many herds will become infected. I 'ntil the i-'ederal 
(Jovernmerit or the individual states enforce measures of eradication, it is, 
consequently, legitimate to ask and to answer the rjuestion as to the proper 
medical treatment. 

iJefore formulating this treatment it should be explained that a remedy 
which will cure every case is not to be expected, 'i'here iias never been dis- 
covered a remedy for a single one of the infectious diseases of man or 
animals wliich will cure every individual attacked. Some forms of these 
diseases are so vicjhuit and rapid that the animals are dead altnost before 
they are (observed to be sick. I.'ndctr such conditions there is not time for the 
most activ<i remedy to produce a b<;ne(icial effect. 

In many outbreaks the type of the malady is less virulent and there is 
time to treat the animals after they are sick, and also the whole herd after 
some members of it have shown tliat they are diseased. For a long time 
after beginning the investigations of the infectious diseases of swine, the 
writer was doul^tful if any remedy or combirjation of remedies could be macle 
which would produ<;e any marked effect. 'I'he experiments of the last year, 
however, indicate that treatment if properly api»lied may be successful. With 
the assistance of JJr. K. A. de Schweinitz, chemist of the JJureau, and Dr. 
V. A. Norgaard, inspector, a number of formulas have been developed and 
used in the field with good results. 

The most ellicacious formula which has been tried is the following: 

Pounds. 

Wood charcoal 1 

Hulpliur 1 

Sijdlurn chloride 3 

Sod I ij til hicarboiiate 2 

Kodiuiii hyposulphite; 2 

Sodium .sul|)hat<! 1 

AntlriKjny sulphld<! I 

'I'hese ingredients should be completely pulverized and thoroughly mixed. 

The dose of this mixture is a large tablespoonful for each 2rX) pounds 
weight of hogs to be treated, and it should be given only once a day. When 
hogs are affected with these diseases they should not be fed on corn alone, 
but they should have at least once a day soft feed, made by mixing bran and 
middlings, or middlings and corn meal, or ground oats and corn, or crushed 
wheat with hot water, and then stiring into this the proper quantity of the 
niediciue. ilogs are f()nd of this mixture, it increases their appetite, and 
when they once taste of food with which it has been mixed they will eat it 
though nothing else would tempt them. 

Animals that are very sick and that will not come to the feed should be 
drenched with the medicine shaken up with water. Great care should be 
exercised in drenching hogs or they will be suffocated. Do not turn the hog 
on its back to drench it, but pull the cheek away from the teeth so as to 
form a pouch, into which the medicine may be slowly poured. It will flow 
from the cheek into the mouth, and when the hog finds out what it is, it 
will stop squealing and swallow. In our exp>-riments liogs which were so 
sick that they w(jii!d eat M<jthing have commenced to eat very soon after 
getting a dose of the remedy, and have steaoily improved until they appeared 
perfectly well. 

This medieine may also be used as a preventive of these diseases, and for 
this purpose should be |)ut in the feed of the whole herd. Care should of 
course be observed to s(;e that each animal receives its proper share. Incases 
where it has been given a fair trial, it has apparently cured most of the 
animals which were sick and has stopped the progress of the disease in the 
herds. It also appears to be an excellent appetizer and stimulant of the pro- 
cesses of digestion and assimilation, and when given to unthrifty hogs it in- 
creases the appetite, causes them to take on flesh, and assume a thrifty 
appearance. 



?0 Berkshire Year l3ooK. 



This is a resume of the reports from the tests of this medicine during 
the last year, and while I should prefer, from a scientitic point of view, to 
continue these experiments for another year before venturing to recommend 
it as a remedy for these diseases, the many urgent requests which have been 
made upon me tor the formula lead me to give it in time for it to be tried 
by our farmers during the current year. Those who are mtei^sted in this 
subject are earnestly requested to try this mixture and report their results to 
this Bureau for the benetit of the hog-raising industry. 

Success or failure with this remedy depends largely upon the manner in 
which it is used. If it is improperly administered, or the hogs left out in 
cold storms and compelled to remain day and night in mud six inches or a 
foot deep, vmder the necessity of searching through this mud to lind an ear 
of corn in order to get anything to eat, the farmer might as well save his 
money and let his hogs die, as nothing which we have been able to hnd will 
save them under such conditions. If, on the other hand, the sick animals 
can be made reasonably comfortable, and given soft, easily digested food to 
eat, the medicine, of which we have just given the formula, may be used 
with confidence that it will give good returns for its cost and the trouble of 
its administration. 

In treating hogs for these diseases it must not be forgotten that in nearly 
all cases there is more or less inflammation of the internal organs, and par- 
ticularly of the stomach and intestines. To treat such diseases successfully 
the animals should be kept dry and comfortable, and where drafts of air will 
not blow upon them. The food must be such as can be digested by the 
irritated and inflamed organs which are charged with this function. With 
these general principles in mind the farmer may imdertake to treat his sick 
hogs with a fair prospect of success. He may not save them all, but he 
should be able to preserve a good proportion of them. 

The question now arises. What disposition should be made of the hogs 
during treatment, and what sanitary measures should be adopted in addition 
to the medical treatment ? When the hogs are flrst found to be affected 
with hog cholera or swine plague the lot or pens where they have been con- 
flned should be disinfected by dusting plentifully with dry, air-slaked lime. . 
or by sprinkling with a 5 per cent solution of crude carbolic acid. The 
animals should then all be moved to new quarters. If possible, the sick and 
apparently well should be separated before they are moved and then put into 
different lots. This is not essential, but it is an aid to the treatment. The 
hogs should be kept in dry lots, or pens, where there is no mud, and, above 
all, no stagnant water. It is well to keep these lots disinfected by the free 
use of air-slaked lime or carbolic acid. 

It is not expected by this supplementary treatment that the hogs will be 
entirely removed from the influence and attacks of germs. This is not neces- 
sary. The number of germs which gain access to their bodies may be so 
reduced by following this plan, however, that the vital force of the system, 
assisted by the medicine, is sufficient to overcome them. 

During this treatment the hogs gain a marked degree of immunity. Xo 
doubt this is the result of attacks of the disease from which they recover. 
This recovery is in spite of the continued infection of the premises, and 
even though the hogs which have gone through the outbreak are apparently 
well and thriving, new hogs added to the herd are liable to be attacked. For 
this reason Ave or six months should be allowed to pass before any new hogs 
are purchased and brought on the premises or before any are sold to be put 
among other lots of hogs. Young pigs born under such conditions in some 
cases are able to resist the infection, while in other cases they may suffer 
severely or die. 

If any hogs die during the progress of the outbreak their carcasses should 
be immediately burned or deeply buried, and the places where they have lain 
or the ground over which they are dragged should be disinfected with car- 
bolic acid or lime according to the method already mentioned. 

sanitary measures to prevent the introduction of iioo cholera 

AND swine plague. 

The swine-grower should use every effort to prevent the introduction of 
the contagion of these diseases upon his premises. If he purchases hogs from 



Hog Cholera and Swine fLAoUE, 71 



a distance or sends his own animals for exhibition at the fairs, he should 
insist upon their being transported in clean cars, which have been disinfected 
if they have previously carried swine. When new hogs are brought upon the 
farm or when his own return from exhibition, they should be rigidly quar- 
antined and not allowed to come in contact with the other hogs on the farm 
for at least six weeks. 

Hogs should not be allowed to run at large in the vicinity of railroads 
over which swine are transported. Infected hogs are frequently shipped to 
market, and there are sutticient droppings from the cars in which they are 
carried to scatter the contagion along the railroad for the whole distance 
they travel. 

When these diseases appear upon a neighboring farm precautions should 
be adopted to prevent the introduction of the contagion. Xo one should go 
upon the fields or into the pens where the sick animals are and then go to 
another farm where the disease has not appeared. Remember that a particle 
of manure or dirt the size of a mustard seed from an infected farm is suf- 
ficient to start an outbreak that will destroy a herd of swine. A particle of 
that size may be carried upon the shoes of a visitor, upon the foot of a dog 
or other animal, upon a wagon wheel, or in a multitude of other ways. \on- 
intercourse at such a time is therefore the safest rule. 

Experience shows that hogs kept up in a pen or small lot are less sub- 
ject to infection when cholera is in the neighborhood than those which are 
allowed to run at large or in the fields. It is, consecjuently, advisable, when 
there is reason to fear this disease, to keep the hogs in a small inclosure, 
which should be as dry as possible, and disinfected once a week with air- 
slacked lime or a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid. A small quantity of 
carbolic acid (8 to 15 drops, according to age) in the drinking water tends to 
prevent infection and may have a beneficial influence upon the course of the 
disease. 

PUEVENTION OF DISEASE BY PROPER BREEDING AND FEEDIN(;. 

There is occasionally a herd of swine that does not contract hog cholera 
even though exposed to the contagion. Two herds may sometimes run to- 
gether and be exposed to the same extent; one will be nearly or quite de- 
stroyed, while the other does not suffer. These facts naturally lead to the 
inquiry as to whether it is possible to so breed and feed hogs as to largely 
or entirely prevent the most common diseases. To what extent disease may 
be prevented in this way, we are not in a position to state, as we are not 
familiar with enough experiments to enable us to reach a conclusion. It is 
clear, however, that something can be accomplished in this way, and as the 
carrying out of the plan would also increase the hardiness and thriftiness of 
of the swine it is certainly worthy of adoption. 

The first principle of this method of prevention is to breed only from 
mature breeding stock which is only distantly or not at all related. The 
second principle is to select, if possible, animals for breeding stock which 
have shown, by having passed through an outbreak without having become 
affected, that they possess a power of resisting hog cholera. The third princi- 
ple is to feed the growing shoats upon a variety of food which will lead to 
normal and harmonious development; of all the different organs. The appli- 
cation of these principles must be made by the individual breeder in accord- 
ance with his circumstances and surrounding conditions. The breeding from 
mature animals which are not closely related can be easily adopted by anyone. 
The selection of stock which has shown that it possesses a power of resisting 
the disease is much more difficult, and in many cases it will be impossible 
for the general farmer, though there are many breeders who could experi- 
ment in this direction. 

The diet of corn alone, upon which the hogs of so large a part of the 
country are raised, has done more than anything else to weaken the vital 
powers of these animals. With wheat selling in the markets of the country 
as low as corn, there is no longer any excuse for limiting the food of hogs 
to a single grain. Wheat is much better than corn for growing animals, but 
should be crushed or rolled to give the best results. Ground oats, middlings, 
bran, and peas may also be used to give variety. It is hardly necessary to 



72 Berkshire Year Book. 



add that during the warm months of the year hogs should have plenty of 
young grass or clover. 

By intelligently applying these principles in the production of the breed- 
ing stock a strain of animals may be developed which is hardy, vigorous, 
prolific, and much more capable of resisting disease than is the ordinary 
inbred and corn-fed stock which is now so generally used by the farmers of 
this country. 

This bulletin is prepared for the practical use of the farmer; it is in- 
tended to be suggestive rather than exhaustive; )t contains the important 
points necessary for identifying and controlling the infectious diseases of 
swine. If its teachings are intelligently and thoroughly followed the losses 
from these diseases may be greatly reduced. Experience having demonstrated 
that such beneficial results are possible, it has been deemed best to present 
this information in a condensed and popular form. 



Volume XIII of the American Berkshire Record 
Has been Issued. 

The Illinois State Register office has just completed Volume XIII of the 
American Berkshire Record, which, in mechanical appearance, is not surpass- 
ed by a volume of pedigrees published by any other live stock association in 
the United States. 

Volume 13 of the American Berkshire Record is the largest and most 
complete book published by the association, and contains a vast amount of 
information of great interest to the breeder. 

The best evidence of the great prosperity of the American Berkshire Asso- 
ciation that could be furnished is this large, handsome volume of over 600 
pages. 

Pedigrees numbering from 26,001 to 30,000 are tabulated in said book. 

Over 3,400 transfers of Berkshires are noted in the volume, representing 
sales estimated at nearly ."glOOjOOO. 

The index to breeders and owners, covering over 110 closely printed pages, 
includes the names of all the active breeders of Berkshires residing in the 
United States. 

The magnitude of the operations of the American Berkshire Association 
can in a measure be determined by the index to volume 13, which cover nearly 
150 printed pages. 

The Champion Berkshire Herds awarded the state prizes of the American 
Berkshire Association are noted in this volume. 

A full report of the Berkshire exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposi- 
tion is given in volume 13, which is worth more to every breeder of Berkshires 
than the small price asked for this large book, which is only $5 per copy. 

The Illinois State Register has been awarded the contract for printing 
volume 14 of the American Berkshire Record, which closed December 14, 1894, 
with 5,000 pedigrees. 

Volume 14 will be printed as rapidly as the care necessary to ensure ac- 
curacy will permit. 

Col. Chas. F. Mills, the Secretary of the American Berkshire Association, 
has been making large shipments of the recently completed volume to parties 
in Canada and all parts of the United States.— Illinois State Hegister.

MICHIGAN— THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. 



By ]Sr. A. Clapp, Wixom, Mich, 

Many pleasant recollections cluster around the history of Berkshire breeding 
in Michigan. Their admirers and owners have invariably been whole-souled, 
genial fellows, and possessed of considerable sagacity, making them capable 
of appreciating a good thing when they saw it. 

The first advent of the Berkshire in the State was some time before ped- 
igree was justly considered or records for swine pedigrees thought of. The 
"razor backs," "land sharks" and "long nosed rooters" were too slow to mature 
to be profitable consumers of the grain and refuse material of the farm. On 
account of their early maturity, excellent form and superior quality of flesh, 
the Berks became, among thoughtful, advancing and aggressive farmers, a 
favorite. Other breeds have been brought forward, challenging attention, ad- 
miration and adoption, flourished for a period of time, some for a short time 
and some longer, and receded to the background. At the State Fair of 1894, 
when the different breeds were out making one of the largest and best hog 
shows ever seen in the State, the Berkshires proved their ascendency by out- 
numbering any two or three of the other breeds there represented. 

Strange as it may seem, many prefer an imitation to a genuine article. 
The most enthusiastic breeders of the later breeds are constantly calling atten- 
tention to some particular points in their hogs that are "like a Herkshire,'" 
thus admitting that the Berkshire is the true standard which they are aiming 
to approach. The question arises: AVhy not secure the Berkshire, the ne plus 
ultra of true excellence, instead of wasting time and feed, aiming at some- 
thing that will take a hundred years to accomplish. 

We are at present passing through an unprecedented period of depression, 
farm products are cheap and other stock is low in price, and yet the demand 
for good Berkshires seems to be increasing and former prices sustained. 
During the last year we have sold more Berkshires to men who were estab- 
lishing new herds than ever before in one year of the twenty-five we have 
been in the business. For the careful, skillful breeder the outlook is encour- 
aging.

Berkshires have at various times been brought into the State, but regis- 
tered herds (so far as I have been able to ascertain) were not established until 
1887, when T. G. Duncan, .Jr., started to breeding at this place. This was soon 
followed by the Springdale Farmers" Club purchasing of Mr. Gentry a sow 
bred to Longfellow. After this, other purchases of Gentry and several of Jas. 
Riley, and one of Suell's breeding were made; these being good individuals 
and well bred, did much towards bringing the Berkshire to the front in the 
western part of the State and as far down the river as Little Rock. During 
this time the Tennessee breeders were sending in some good stock on the 
east, so that at present there are a number of small herds of good hogs scat- 
tered over the State and others have or will be started this year. The Berk- 
shires that have come in have mostly been good ones, and if breeders will 
only send good hogs they can look for quite a good trade in this State. 

Arkansas is the thirteenth State in number of hogs, and yet the south is 
only started in this direction, and the spirit of improvement is upon the people, 
so it is not likely that they will be satisfied with the quality of stock they are 
breeding, especially is this likely to prove true when we look at the advances 
in most other directions. 

The Berkshire gives splendid satisfaction in this climate with the surround- 
ings given, and they are almost universally the choice of the people. 

The low price at which cotton has sold the past two years has encouraged 
many to try hogs and corn and their success will cause more to take hold of 
these mortgage lifters.

WISCONSIN-THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. 



By a. a. Arnold, Galesville, Wis. 

The outlook for Berkshire hogs never was equal to the present. This 
state of affairs has come about principally by reason of narrower margins, 
necessitated by strong competition, and also for this reason, that farmers are 
counting the cost of production, studying the markets and conducting their 
business more and more intelligently, thus encouraging investigation of the 
merits of the different breeds. The Berkshire hog as he has been improved 
within the last decade will stand the severest criticism. He is the model hog; 
is the most prolific; has the most high priced tlesh; is a prime forager and 
rustler, and stands well on his feet when fat for the butcher. The Poland 
China (the next best hog) lacks many of the good qualities of the l^erkshire 
and excels them in none, unless it be that he is more slothful, but this counts 
for nothing in taking on flesh, when both are well fed, which is the only 
profitable way to handle any kind of breed. 

As a breeder for twenty-five years I have found that they are more pro- 
lific than other breeds, and the best mothers. They are generally good milkers 
and the pigs run quite even. The pigs come small and I have never had 
trouble with them in farrowing. The hog in his natural state lives on nuts 
and herbs, is a good mother and prolific breeder, and the Berkshire seems to 
have retained these desirable qualities. As a shipper I find that they outsell 
any other breed. This is mostly for the reason that they are the triniest built 
hog, not too heavy bound, even fleshed, broad backs, standing well on their 
feet, nice even lots, sell the best and the good lookers will always bring from 
five to fifty cents per hundred more at any time in the market than inferior 
lots. A solid colored animal never looks as large as a spotted animal, there- 
fore the Berkshire always weighs more than they look. Having more muscle 
than other breeds they weigh more than others of same size, as muscle weighs 
more than the same bulk of fat. Ten years ago you could hardly find a Berk- 
shire at the fairs, whereas now there is strong competition in this breed — 
stronger than in any othpr. 

My sales are constantly increasing and I find this true of all good br^ders 
of Berkshires. The hog will always be the best animal to pay off the mort- 
gages in this corn country, and when the people come to fully understand 
the difference there is in the product and profits in the breeds there will be 
no more room or need for anything but "the Berkshire hog, the farmers' best 
friend." 



PENNSYLVANIA-THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. 



(By D. E. Horner, Greenville, Pa.) 

The Berkshire is growing rapidly in favor in Pennsylvania, and is fast 
becoming the favored hog in this State. The demand for Berkshires during 
the past three has exceeded anything in my ten years experience as a breeder 
of Berkshires. The large demand for good, well bred Berkshires of the leading 
families is better each month in this State. The outlook for the breeder of 
Berkshires is very favorable. I feel certain that good Berkshires of fancy 
breeding will be in much larger demand than heretofore, as our best farmers 
and breeders are making large purchases for breeding purposes, having become 
convinced that there is more money and better quality of pork for the breeder 
and consumer of the Berkshires than can be obtained from any other breed 
of swine.

FLORIDA--THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. 



By T. a. Vincent, River View, Florida. 

Florida is not generally considered a stock-breeding country. The climate 
is excessively hot for eight months of the year and the land generally is very 
poor. On the small percentage of good land in the state, and with favorable 
seasons, an abundance of feed for pigs may be grown, viz: Corn, purdars, 
chufas, cassava, sweet potatoes, etc. 

Farmers on our good lands are able to succeed very well with Berkshires. 
I have no hesitation in saying that all who have thoroughly tested the Berk- 
shires have been satisfied that they are the best hog for Florida. 

The Berkshire stands the heat wonderfully and are even more free from 
disease than the wild Razorback hog of this country. 

Care must be taken not to have the Berkshire too fat or heavy from May 
to November, as breeding stock feel the heat considerably. 

Owing to the difficulty of not having cool eiiough weather for curing pork, 
it does not pay to fatten hogs for bacon or for hams, except for family use. 

It does, however, pay well to raise porkers to sell for the fresh pork trade. 

The demand this year has been steadily increasing for better bred hogs, 
but it may be years before really first-class prices will be given for first-class 
stock in Florida. 

The most encouraging sign is that farmers are beginning to realize here 
that they must improve the native hog, as the scrub does not pay for his 
keep. The people, as they recover from the disaster to the orange groves, 
resulting from the freezing weather of 1894 and 1895, will demand a better hog. 

All who see my lierkshires want them, and the only thing that interferes 
with sales is want of cash. 

All our people want the Berkshire, and readily acknowledge that they 
are every way superior to any hogs they have seen. 



NO. CAROLINA— THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. 



By R. R. Beal, Murphy, N. C. 

The Berkshire industry in North Carolina is steadily growing. The Berk- 
shires were not much known in this section until a few years ago. I have 
tried several breeds of hogs, but have discarded all but the Berkshire. 

There is a growing demand for Berkshires for breeding purposes in this 
State. The Berkshires give universal satisfaction and are a favorite.

CALIFORNIA-T HE BERKS HIRE OUTLOOK. 

J3y C. Jl. Skssions, Los Angeles. Cal. 
While there have been thoroughbred swine in California for several years, 
the (luality of the fat hogs sold our packers and butchers would not indicate 
the general use of pure bred sires. There is certainly a very promising field 
for missionary work in the introduction of thoroughbred stock among the 
farmers and stock breeders of this State. I frequently receive letters making 
inquiry for JJerkshires from parties who say that there are no thoroughbred 
hogs in their vicinity. It is surprising that bree<lers feeding hogs for the 
butcher will continue to raise the '"razor back" hog, when thoroughbred sires 
could be purchased for such a small sum. Well bred pigs can be fattened 
on half the feed it takes to grow the scrub, and the improved stock can be 
fattened for the market in half the time. There ought to be a large increase 
in the demand for pure bred Berkshires in this State, on account of the large 
proportion of native or scrub stock. It is hard to make some men believe 
there is any profit in buying a sire for ^20, when the improvement in the 
quality of a single litter would be increased more than that amount. 

OHIO-THE BERKSHIR E OUTLOOK. 

By C. a. Kellogg, Olaridon, Ohio. 
.\t no time has the breeding of Berkshires been so marked and full of 
encouragement as at the present time. The breeders of Ohio have a golden 
opportunity in the near future, if they will grasp the situation. The demand 
for animals of choice breeding and typical of the breed is fast increasing; 
new herds are being established and the progressive farmers are buying males 
to mate and improve other breeds now on hand. 

NEBRASKA-TH E BERKSH IRE OUTLOOK. 

By ,T. W. Townley, Octavia, Neh. 

The writer is convinced that no industry has paid the general farmer in 
Nebraska better returns than the raising and feeding well bred hogs. For all 
practical purposes, including shipment to market, and quality of pork for home 
consumption, the Berkshire stands second to none. The sale of Berkshires 
for breeding purposes has been profitable to the breeder who makes a specialty 
of producing the best specimens for use in improving the many breeds by the 
introduction of the best blood. The many excellent qualities of the Berkshire 
and the zeal of most of their breeders has made the breed very popular, and 
great strides in public favor have been made during the past two years. 

The trade of Berkshire breeders of well bred stock of good individuality 
has been large and on the increase. Breeders of Berkshires report good de- 
mand and the advertiser has generally sold all his surplus stock. Some of 
the influences that have contributed to the growing trade in Berkshires are 
the superior ([ualities of the breed and the earnest efforts the breeders have 
made in the exhibition of good animals at the State and county fairs. The 
advent of alfalfa clover and the partial failure of the corn crop the past two 
seasons has demonstrated the advantage of raising a hog with good grazing 
(|ualities. The Berkshire will make good growth on grass and can be fed 
profitably for the market at any age. and will stand shipping to market with- 
out breaking down. The western farmer needs a hog that is active and well 
adapted for feeding after cattle. The great vitality of the Berkshire, sharp 
eyes, fine upright or slightly drooping ears, and alert movement, make them 
the best for feeding with other stock. In point of symmetry, size and quality 
the Berkshire is unrivaled. While the trade in Berkshires has been remarkable 
in the past the outlook is more encouraging than heretofore. 

Alfalfa is without doubt the great forage plant for Nebraska. The acreage 
seeded to this crop is rapidly increasing each year. Alfalfa starts very early 
in the spring and grows until late in the fall. It is an excellent feed for 
Berkshires and other kinds of stock. When we have the normal amount of 
rain good crops of corn an oats are raised. Artichokes do well in this State 
and are a great boon to the breeder and feeder of hogs. Our hog feeders 
have a good market at Omaha and the present conditions and future outlook 
are certainly more encouraging for the swine breeder than in the past.

How to sell surplus'sloek at a proHf is the ([uestion that presents Itself to the ma.jority of 
lireeders who have not had e.xtended experience in advertising. The fact has been demon- 
strated so many times that the demand foi' good Berkshires exceeds the supply, that the 
leading breeders have oulv to call attention to their inability to fill all their orders, year 
after year, to convince even the most skeptical. In order that the hundreds of breeders who 
have recently established herds of Berkshires maybe advised of the business methoa.s of 
the leadinu: breeders in the sale of their surplus stock the names are given below of the 
■gentlemen in each State who madt- the largest number of sales of recorded stock, as shown 
by the reports publiseed in the 1804 Year Book of the American Berkshire Association. 

The gentlemen named below will take great pleasure in answering inquiries as to the 
best methods of advertising and selling Berkshires. ■■ , ., .^, i 

An e.xainination of the following list of names will remind the reader that, with scarcely 
an e.xception, said breeders are liberal patrons of the advertising oolumns of the live stock 
and agricultural papers, and that the list of awards of the county and State fairs, generally 
Includes the prize winners of said gentlemen. The 1804 Year Book of the American Berk-

COLUMBIAN AND STATE FAIR WINNERS. 

' 'The Home" of all the most noted living English 

Winners and Royal Champions 

of late Years. 

Ttie dreatest Collection of Eilish Winners e?er on one Farm 

We import more Berkshires from England, in a year, than all 
others combined, we believe. 

For years we have been first in the field, and each year have 
secured all the pick, regardless of price. 

Through that famous Judge and Breeder, Mr. Edney Hayter, 
we are kept well informed as to what there is in England, and his 
orders are to secure all the best, regardless of price, as well as to 
reserve for us the cream of his own far-famed prize winning herd. 

Our breeding herd here, consists of the pick of '"'All the best 
JiitKjl ish sows'' ive have im/povted, and are headed by (at least) 
four of the greatest English boars ever at the head of any herd, viz: 
The Khuf of Bevkshite Boars, LORD WINDSOB 30401, 

winner of 25 first and champion prizes at all the best shoics in 
England and America, a record without a parallel. Compeditors 
considered his weight over 800 pounds, price refused by us for 
him $1000. 

He is assisted by TmPORTED FITZCURZON 30531, 

Winner of 1st at the best shows in England in 1893 as aged 
boar, an enormous big hog, said to have weighed over 1000 pounds 
in June, 1893, a pure Sallie in breeding. 

The above is assisted by GREAT EASTERN 34730, 
The best boar in England in 1894, weighing over 800 pounds at 
IG months and uever beaten in his class in 1893. The fourth comer 
of this famous quartette of English boars is 

MASTER HIGHCLERE 33146, 

The deepest bodied, shortest legged boar, we believe, in America, 
a winner at St. Louis and New York State Fairs. A grand impor- 
tation is now on the way from England, including the Chatnpioit 
Boar arid Sow of the seftson as well as JO other win ners. 

A grand lot oi' pigs here for sale. Young sows, boars and young pigs 
of the same type as those we showed at the American Royal (Springlield, 111.,) 
1894, where, in the face of all compeditors, we won champion on boar, cham- 
pion on sow and champion on family group of six, besides 1st on 2 year boar, 
1st on 2 year sow, 1st on young sow (and did as well at other shows) defeat- 
ing the DesMoines, Lincoln, Indianajjulis and several World's Fair winners.

Berkshire Year Book, 173 



BERKSHIRE BREEDERS 

Have fovind by experience that the 
"Southern Stock Farm,'' of Nashville, 
Tennessee, is the best advertising 
medium in the South. Ask any of 
them. The "Sc ithern Stock Farm" is 
read by up-to-date Stockmen, not the 
"one gallus" kind, that would as soon 
have a razor-back as anything' else. 
Our readers are buyers. Write for

174 Berkshire Tear Book. 



NEBRASKA-THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. 



By W. E. Spicer, Harvard, Nebraska. 

The Berkshire hog is fast growing in public favor throughout the west. 
The repeated, exhibits of good animals at the fairs, and the repeated victories 
of the iierkshires in open competition with all breeds at the leading State 
fairs, has done much to call general attention to the breed. The Berkshires 
exhibited of late years outweigh other breeds of same age, which has in a 
great measure broken down the prejudice and removed the erroneous im- 
pression that the Berkshire is a small hog. I think there will be an increas- 
ing demand each year for the Berkshires. 



WASHINGTON— THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. 



By a. D. Hale, McMillin, Washington. 

The outlook for the greatest mortgage lifter in the world — the Berkshire 
pig — in the Pacific northwest, is very encouraging. At the Oregon State fair, 
all the breeders were taking orders for pigs. Many of them have been com- 
pelled to import breeding stock from the east, in order to keep up with the 
demand. The farmers of AVashington and Oregon have heretofore been de- 
pending upon the one crop system for their main support, and have found by 
sad experience that it don't pan out. East of the Cascade Mountains it has 
been wheat, wheat wheat; and west it has been hops, hops, hops, until our 
land and land owners are wheated and hoped to death, the fertility of the 
farm constantly being sent east, and the farm and farmer both growing 
poorer each year. The farmer of this country has got into a rut, and has 
been digging it deeper and deeper each year until now, by standing on his 
tip toes, he can just see out, and the only thing in sight for his salvation is 
the dairy cow and the Berkshire pig. And I predict that within the next two 
years, the American Berkshire Association will have on its books one hundred 
entries in Washington and Oregon where it has one now. This may seem a 
strong statement, but the circumstances will warrant that much of an in- 
crease. The interest and tax collector is the one thing that is harassing the 
life out of our farmers, and this is the only way out of the dilemma. What 
would an lUinoisian think of a farmer who hauled every dollar's worth of 
produce off his farm every year, and bought his meat in this State. Well, 
that is what our farmers have been doing, and they now see that it must 
stop, and they are buying brood sows instead of packed meat, and all they 
need is time to make the change, and my prophesy will be fulfilled.

SUCCESS ! 



SUCCESS 



NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS! 



- The American Berkshire Association succeeds — 

First — Because it represents the best Breed of swine. 

Second — Because the Association advertises the breed, and in every 
possible way advances the best interests of the breeders of 
Berkshires, 

Third — Because the Association expends all of its surplus funds in 
premiums at all the State and Provincial Fairs in Canada 
and the United States. 

Fourth — Because the Association paid in premiums at the World's 
Columbian Exposition and the State and Provincial Fairs 
each year more than all the other swine breeders' associa- 
tions combined. 

Fifth — Because the breeders of Berkshires are careful to breed 
only the best specimens and to sell for breeders only first- 
class stock. 

Sixth — Because the breeders of Berkshires are progressive and lead 
in all that pertains to quality, style and profit in the breed- 
ing and feeding of swine. 

Seventh — Because the breeders of Berkshires confidently believe 
that they are producing the most profitable hog for the 
breeder, the feeder, the packer and the consumer. 

Eighth — Because the successful breeders of Berkshires set apart 
not less than ten per cent, of the amount of their gross 
receipts for advertising in the live stock and agricultural 
press. 

Ninth — Because the successful breeders of Berkshires never fail to 
exhibit their pigs at their respective County and State Fairs.
